The gaming industry is not going to crash, it's seeing a transformation like the film industry did. A few publishers will control most of the big budget releases and then we'll see much smaller stuff from indies.

Given the two options, a crash would be preferable IMO. The business model video games had from roughly the early 90's to mid 00's seems like the ideal one from a consumer's point of view. If a crash were to happen, consumers would suffer for a few years, but somebody would pick up the pieces. If the game industry goes the way of the film industry... let's just say there's a reason why I don't watch many films.

Agreed.. If THAT is truly the directon the industry is going to go, that's a very sad day for me, and should be for all gamers. Just look at the filth from Hollywood.. I don't want that in my games. I'm seeing glimpses of it already and it already looks bad.. If the industry went with all all out Hollywood business style then it's time I find a new hobby.
