I'm not talking about how hardware will limit video games one day, I'm more interested in the quality of content. Will there come a time when video games no longer can produce something unique?
It would seem that the only limitation that can be put upon the future of game content is the limitation of the human brain. (That is until we allow computers to design for us humans..) Resently we have seen the decline in the quality of content from movies, and with movies being the closest cousin of video games, willl we a similar decline with video games?
While some may argue that as long as books are being written, then movies and video games will continue to floursh. But if you look at the stories in books, and how they are structured you'll notice that every concept written today can be seen in something by William Shakespeare. Has literature declined since William Shakespeare? I would say not, but there has to be a ceiling to which the human imagination can reached.
I don't know, what do you think?

Come up with a way to quantify "quality" and you may have something.
