Gamers are very, very active on the internet and social media. So you get a lot more talk about the problems in journalism related to their field than you may for say, the problems in fishing or gardening journalism, where the audience is perhaps less active online. It also (like most entertainment media) has a large audience, hence the amount of discussions. And that's what gets people discussing it. It's the same reason sports journalism is so big online compared to its real world impact. Lots of people are interested in the field, regardless of how it affects 'more important' things.
