I'm still miffed having to pass on Fallout: New Vegas because of such aspects as an example.
Don't be. Let it go. Let it all go. You'll feel better.
So other people are wasting their money, big deal. Let them.
Literally hundreds of games every day. Daily. Hundreds. All this crap isn't infecting "the industry", it is infecting the small part of the industry which tends to get the most press which, unfortunately, is what a lot of people think of as "the whole industry". Not even close.
Without even trying I bet you can find a dozen new games from both indie devs and commercial publishers released in the past 24 hours, and in that dozen there's almost certainly going to be something with policies that you agree with that is enjoyable, and if not there's another dozen for you to look at tomorrow, or the day after, or the day after. And the best part of it is, once you start finding titles you like it'll start getting even easier to go back to the same sources and find other titles you like.
I'm not saying go full hipster, things are not bad because they become popular (I've been enjoying Skyrim for hundreds of hours now, there's nothing wrong with that), but the idea that people think they have to reach for the popular choices because "that's the industry" makes me extremely sad. If you don't like "the industry", then don't be part of it: you literally don't need it because the REAL industry is thousands of times larger than what most people think of as "the industry".
