Eventually, good game design and thorough development will be replaced by product placement (EVERYWHERE!!) and quick, ****ty, cookie cutter games that are mediocre at best and also eventually, it will be too hard to tell who actually made the game because they will all have so many corporate endorsement things.

Product placement cant be that bad when done right. It could even add to the immersiveness of a game if its in unobtrusive places, like a billboard on the side of a freeway in a GTA game.
but it could take away by ruining the effect that you're in an alternate reality or something. besides, due to my cynical nature, whenever i see product placemnt i think of what ass hole company had to dabble their hands into an industry that they have nothing to with.
