I think economics will prevent the industry from going out of business by spending too much, but the more visible effect of the high budgets is similar to what we see from Hollywood -- total fear of risk resulting in tepid sequels, remakes, and lowest-common-denominator titles. If the market gets disgusted enough to stop buying Call of Duty 29 (Reskinned) we could have another 1983 on our hands, but I don't quite see that coming, yet.
