I feel like the author has used his games published numbers to hide the fact that the number of gamers is large and growing much larger all the time.
There are 8 billion people in this world, and the Playstation 2 is the highest selling console ever at 155 million[0].
In a world of 3 billion computer and internet users, 12,000 Steam games a year doesn't seem like that much too me.
The real problem is that all the sales are going to go to the top 1% of games.
But here's another truth that dispels the author's main point: I can make one or two games a year, but I can play dozens of them.
Game developers that see this problem should be encouraging people to develop games - and buy as many indie games as they can afford.
In a world where everyone is making art at 1x and buying art at 10x, then many many more people can make a living from their art.
