If I had the answers, I would've said something a long time ago. Now, I'm just glad that I really enjoy reading, because if the industry does go Belly-up, I have other alternatives to gaming. I've altered my purchasing practices to coincide with my principles, ergo, I don't buy games that I'm not certain about, I don't take flyers on things anymore, I'm more than happy to wait several months+ after launch, just to see how things pan out, and I most certainly don't contribute money to things that I wholeheartedly object to. Yes, I do pass on a great deal of games, but I'd rather stick with my principles than sell out because of something shiny.
That's something everyone can do, but I can't force them to, they'll have to learn about this stuff in their own time.

People will buy anything - until they stop buying it. They will learn. Sadly, it may all happen at once and cause the crash that is no doubt on it's way.

Well, I think this simply comes with age. When I was younger, I cared far far less about my purchases, mainly because the money I was using wasn't mine. Once I had a job, had bills, had rent, car payments etc... that money becomes far far more valuable and I wasn't nearly as cavalier with my spending. I'd rather put in some extra time looking into a game, than take a flyer and be pissed off that I screwed myself.
