There is, it's called quality. And if you don't control the hardware (PS3, XBox, anything Apple, gaming servers, ..., etc), you can't control the software. Or you can purchase politicians and/or law enforcement.

It's not possible to simultaneously satisfy the most powerful in both camps (coders and creators). This is the entertainment industry's Israel. It's time for the creator mafia to get more creative, otherwise the inevitable will come sooner rather than later:

"Anything I see, hear or feel, I own." We can call it Tommy!

Then maybe we'll see a quality increase, and a quantity slow down. I computationally analyze music as a hobby; the next Don Kirshner might not be human. The movie industry will have to compete with open source gaming engines for market share.

"Strong Arm or Die" will lose. "Innovate or Die" is all that creators will be left with. But no one will go quietly into the night; there will be many corpses on both sides.

I probably spend as much a month on content as anyone in here, but this is the future as I see it.
