I don't know the solution and I don't think it's for America's videogame industry to die, or for the blackhole games to die, we live in a capitalist world, if the American videogame industry collapsed or the blackhole games died overnight, that too would be utterly horrific for the videogame industry as a whole and result in a significant decline in gamers and even further decline in investment.

I agree with most of your post, but have to say something about this. I think the video game industry by now is diverse enough, that it can handle the unhealthy parts to die off. Again, as I said before, this might be tough for the american part though, as I see that this results in a shift of dev capacity to outside the US. Trump isn't helping here really. I also don't think they will all die. Some companies are just too big to fail, they will chug along. I don't think EA or Ubisoft are really going under. EA basically can't, they print money with FC (formerly known as FIFA). Both might shrink in their importance though. We will see.
