That kind of stuff is why the film industry has cycles of actors starting production companies, overturning the hierarchy with their money and successes, followed by them getting bored, selling out, the business becoming more businesslike until they start forking enough money to actors again that they again can produce their own stuff.

Netflix and co, might upend or stall that cycle, same as Steam/MS/etc can stagnate the games business.

I think games still has a cycle or two before being totally stagnant though, but regulators are working hard to fix that.
