Fortunately/unfortunately (depending on your POV), there's a constant variable that limits all output, and that is peoples time. Instead what we'll see is the collapse of the pillars of culture (much like the collapse of the music industry, when the supply 10xed and delivery time fell to 0). Everyone will be king of a small anthill.

For a more pertinent current example, all you need to do is compare the mobile games industry to the computer games industry. The cost to make a mobile game is very low, and tons of games are released every day. The cost to make a successful mobile game is still very high, because all the money that is saved on development costs are spent in marketing instead.

Also, the video market collapsed in the 80s precisely because of low quality/oversupply games.

So perhaps, it is the marketers that have a bright future from all of this.
