Good news! No one is ever going to stop a game from being made.

I'm not so sure. Several of the most popular game platforms (Xbox, PlayStation, iOS) are effectively closed, with gatekeepers who decide which games are allowed. And those gatekeepers don't allow certain types of games on those platforms. Of course it's still possible to create whatever games you want on the remaining free platforms, but removing some of the most popular and lucrative options could make it economically challenging.

Platforms have denied games and game content for well over a decade now and games seem to be doing just fine thanks.

I'm unsure which popular and lucrative options are being removed though. Could you provide examples of what you think will magically disappear?
