It's going to take time, but in the end I believe the games industry and the consumer who actually cares what they're consuming are going to be the losers in the end when they ACTUALLY get what they pay for.
As I said elsewhere in response to a comment of yours, as long as I and others are willing to pay $60 for a game, there will be someone making that $60 game. And I will get what I pay for.

How do you figure that those games will disappear?

Do you think a significant amount of people are at the store looking at $1 games and $60 games side by side and saying, "I was going to get Black Ops, but now that I see this $1 game...I'll get it instead!"

It is like you think that:

Scenario A)
Since the Corolla is selling for 15k, Acura might as well give up because everyone is going to buy the cheap car. Too bad the Corolla exists, otherwise 100% of the people would be driving least the ones who can afford it. Why must Toyota give people that freedom?! There will be no quality cars now!!!

Scenario B)
Since used, clearance games and otherwise cheap games of various varieties sell for $1 or near close to it, they are also ruining the industry! Blast to hell!! Now we have no quality games!!

Scenario C)
Since The Raven buys approx 50% of the (many) games that he buys are used and 'old' he is ruining the industry!! I also heard that he plays open source games, gasp! Good buy Infinity Ward!
