There will always be devs, but as experienced devs get laid off for cheaper replacements with less experience. I think the layoffs that have been happening in the gaming industry for the last few years has lead to many of the issues in the gaming industry and with gaming releases. Whether it be unfinished, buggy, technically unstable (etc) games. I think its one of the reasons that a lot of newer games are failing at what people consider to be the basics of what consumers expect from a release. Of course there are other factors playing into this as well, but thats just what i believe, as I've seen countless interviews with devs and i think even Pach brought it up on a previous question. The loss of experienced game devs has been catastrophic, and you start hearing stories like those people leaving the industry all together and joining tech firms or other entertainment industries.
Hopefully we'll see a tonne of smaller teams break away from big companies and make their own successful franchises. So they end up getting a bigger piece of the pie than they would at a big company.
After seeing Open AI's latest reveal, I think game development will reverse course and go in the opposite direction. AI will reduce development costs and make is so the main differentiator will be creativity. Small studios backed by AI will be able to produce games with the quality of the largest studios today. If all you are doing is making a Call of Duty type shooter, you will be competing against 10s of other games of the same type, all with the same quality. When that happens. it's the people with truly creative ideas who will have the advantage.
