No way the junkies will quit playing early-access AAA titles at any point, no matter the cost.

    Exactly this

    It's not the informed customer that is in control.

    The sheeple that will shill out money endlessly are the ones in control. The ones buying lootboxes instead of paying their mortgage are the ones in control. The idiots are in control.

    Cynic opinion: Once it becomes bad enough the sheeple get punished by the market until they eventually run out of money... the rest of us has most probably a mountain of already bought yet unplayed games at their hard drive.

    So there remains a market for that content, just like there is a giant market for free low effort mobile games with micro transactions.

    Can still seek out and reward passionate projects that clearly actually care about their output. Those projects may not get the same obscene revenue, but they frequently get a viable amount and consistently get recognition for just how well done they are.
