It all connects to the much larger problem of an imploding economy. With everything, we have spent so many years pushing for new and different and focusing on image that quality has taken a back seat. At the same time companies have been eating each other and forcing each other out of the competition, raising production costs and making it harder for someone new to come along. These companies give very little care to anything a along as they know you will buy their product.
More and more people are catching on to the fact that everything in a consumerist society eventually becomes fake because it's increasingly obvious.
So yeah, the culture will have to change. What I hope to see with many things and I think we are starting to see it happen, especially the arts, is an increase of independent creators and an increase of people who pay willingly because they want to support the creator, not because they have to. The idea that "I'm just one person, my dollar or my decision or my support doesn't count" needs to die. People need to start realizing they're decisions matter and supporting regular people who work hard to create things they enjoy. As for the big companies, most of them will reap what they have sown when they're industries crumble.
It'll be interesting to see how gaming and crypto evolve together. Also thanks for introducing me to romhacks!
