"Everyone is making music at home now. Will the music industry survive?" "Everyone is making software at home now. Will the software industry survive?" Yes, these industries survive - they just changed. The market just has new competition at lower price points, which improves competition and forces the higher end producers to invest more rather than keeping so much profit. On the low end, if you wanted to build this stuff yourself and go direct to market, you can - but then you always could. This kind of event just means there's MORE competition on the low end, which also forces low end producers to up their content quality (or go for more niche subject matters) if they want to attract an audience long term.
