When the world around you grows mean, fast and difficult to understand, you're growing old.
Because in reality the world always was mean, fast and difficult to understand.
Todays indi-games live better than ever using platforms like Steam, for example. There are stunning and brilliant games for just a few bucks that beat many blockbuster-games both in new ideas and perfection.
Besides that, I really had to LoL about this one: "Production costs are down"
True. For a fork made in China. But video games are much more complex today, than they ever were, needing much more manpower to make a game appealing to the market. At the same time the costs for a game stayed the same. Calculating inflation that means a huge loss in actual benefit.
It's not a secret, that games need at least 2 sequels with the same engine to make benefit today.
