The over-saturation stuff isn't really a future problem. It's definitely a current one. There is absolutely no time for the majority of gamers to play the majority of games. But that's cool, it'll get worse, but I mean hey, anyone can make movies today, or write a song... A thriving indie scene is a great thing.

I fret for the days actually for when the opposite happens, and a power similar to the music or motion picture industry "authorities" arise. In a way it already has with Steam/Valve front page. It's very authoritarian as to what gets the most eyes on the front page, but fortunately enough of the social conscience of Valve is still there to not entirely abuse this.

Gamings biggest future problem I think is going to be with the social conscience. We're somewhat lucky at the moment, that smart phones were such a big, invasive thing. But in the future, as not only VR rises but also Neural interfaces, people are either going to become more and more isolated, choosing to meet more and more in virtual experiences rather than in person. Or they're just going to see more and more people in the real World essentially disappear in to these alternate realities.

As the World seemingly slips in to a "Matrix-like dystopia" with more and more traditional hard-labour jobs being replaced by machines. I can't imagine the extremely conservative not getting upset about VR and making a stand at some point, even using it as a bit of a "whipping boy" for "all that's wrong with the World" rather than accept that capitalism and our "democracies" have failed us.

I think this will be a very, very big problem. Much bigger than the Dungeons and Dragons "problem" of a few decades ago anyway.
