Another thing you can't fool is the market. And the market will adapt, as it always does, and unlike say, the labor performed by employees of movie studios, software development doesn't necessarily require physical presence to successfully complete the tasks, and thus I suspect plenty of jobs will be outsourced to other places with cheaper and more flexible labor forces. Perhaps we will see new game studios popping up in other countries.

And although still considerable, the U.S. doesn't have the same competitive advantage in software anymore. The market is now global - e.g. in 2018 38.5% of StackOverflow traffic for top 30 countries came from Asia-Pacific, while only 32.9% from North America.
