I can see the government regulating the worst excesses (e.g. banning loot boxes) but short of a socialist revolution GaaS is here to stay. Corporations will always seek rent because it's free money. There won't be an industry collapse: profits have been going up while development costs have been going down. Growth might slow as competition increases (a slower, less pronounced version of what happened to the indie market) and individual companies might file bankruptcy in the never-ending shell game but the only thing that will stop hundred million dollar marketing budgets from being effective is marketing as a whole becoming ineffective. An economic recession might even increase total consumption as people are driven out of other recreational activities that require regular time or money commitments, community spaces, or social networks.
