Recently it came to me while listening to a gaming podcast that most of the topics in gaming are just people freaking out about the market adapting to current economic and/or social conditions. Then dramatically holding previous scenarios as a holy grail, e.g. 'job security', development time and experimentation trends.
If they knew that this is normal and expected, most of the commentary would be unnecessary. That ignorance also ends up in them begging for government intervention just so they can feel in control of something that is naturally ever-changing.
Attempted control, mind you, that often distorts the market and creates a lot of the very same issues they are mad about in the first place.
