No-
Since if I have a good idea and the resilience to make it come true I can make a game, make stupid amount of dosh and get huge name.
I don't need publishers, I can just get my own website 4.99? /month website and put .Torrent link there and that sharing done.
Hell if demo scene is still alive... Why would gaming die?
True. The corporation based, stock companies who's main goal is profit might be dying to people like Notch. If you want to get the shovel out from your shed and start digging around the indie/mod/beta scene you will find gems that will waste hundreds of hours of your life - for FREE!
You just need to know where to look. And hint, it ain't Steam or Desura (well desura has a good stand still) But there is a lot to be found around the unknown indies games.
