Not even close, as I see it. The entire entertainment-industry is in a massive slump, both in terms of creativity and stability. Writing is almost universally terrible across big-budget productions, people get canned left & right, and boardroom directing rules the day. The Indie scene is thriving, and retro-gaming is still a blast, but all that sort of takes away the point of having an expansive industry to begin with. If the mainstream remains creatively idle, and only niches thrive, this is not a good outlook for the future of the industry as a whole.

Goddamn, I really just dislike the gaming sphere right now. And we haven't even touched on the immense politicizing and polarization issues yet - along with the stigma of the hobby due to those issues. 

And, lastly; let's not forget the remakes and remasters seeping out of every developer and publisher pore like uninspired, beige porridge. Holy hell there's a lot of them.
