Self regulation has already failed - If there is a market for the genre then someone will make the game(there is still money to be made just not via loot boxes and microtransactions) - I don't see anything "collapsing" I see maybe a shift in the dev for certain titles, the franchises may have to lower the fees. After all they are forcing players to buy a new game at least every 2 years(server life) and these are not discount titles. You seem to think its the consumers job to keep the profits of these companies high - I don't get it.
