This seems to be happening with many works of fiction. They can't compete so they remake or redo things with modern audiences sensibilities. These usually fail

  Not so much peak content as minimum friction. If things are more localized, you can build up more momentum as a home team kind of competitor and gain skills. If you have to compete on an even playing field with everybody else in the world from the word go, it wildly distorts things and produces really weird results. It's still optimized, but it's optimized for a mass audience that is SO huge, and applies more pressure on anything that doesn't comply. That's what the Angry Birds thing is like. The original has to compete on the grounds of 'produce more money', not just proliferate. As such it's cannibalizing stuff that produces more money.

    When you are competing with your own greatest hits, I think that exemplifies "peak content". People have so much content, they don't even need or want new things from your. They are satisfied, and have enough.

  In all honesty, that's nothing new. Remakes and the like have been the bane of movies from very early on. It still sucks, though. But it does make movie selection a little easier -- if it's a remake, there's a 90% chance that it's going to be terrible.
