The thing to remember is that everyone has these advantages, so really they aren't advantages.

All they have done is raise the standards, you can't just knock out something of the W3D standard and make millions, these days people expect quality that cost upwards of 100M to make a top hit.

Disagree. What they have done is reduced the amount of effort that needs to be invested in the technical aspect, thus increasing the amount of time that can be invested in the creative aspect. In other words, they have changed the field on which contenders compete.
