The average consumer is too stupid, too flooded with social media influence, too lazy to make producing a real game profitable. I'm going to sound like a hipster here but the more mainstream gaming becomes the more it's going to be diluted to shit. Gaming used to be a niche thing with a very specific target audience that is not the case anymore and it will never be the same.
This was all said before WoW's runaway success too. People were saying EQ was as big as the genre could ever get, that anything beyond a 500k playerbase was not possible etc. etc. Publishers were always pushing for less money and shorter schedules.

After WoW hit 10 million publishers for a time were pushing for longer production schedules to make games good, and not just fast. No kidding. They were actually rejecting schedules for being too short!

So... nah. There is always a way.
