Melbourne International Games Week Showed Press are Failing Australian Developers

As a UK based games critic, I am aware I don't interact much with the Australian games industry at all. A near twelve hour time difference and being located on physical opposite points on the earth, it's easy to just not end up connecting with a part of the industry who are largely awake while I sleep.

The real barb in the tail of that cycle though, and probably a key reason our government decided to reach out to yourself and some other 'new media' personalities is this: I've never heard of these games either and I live just 4 hours drive from Melbourne, up in country Victoria. Like most of the rest of my peers I consume games journalism from you, Jim, TotalBiscuit, Tarmack, and then a host of more interest-specific YouTubers or Subreddits. I don't consume it regionally, and without any connections to the development scene itself I'm no more clued-in to it than anyone, anywhere in the world would be.
