These are great questions to ask, but most of them don't really have answers.
1-5 are problems that plague every industry. What we are communicating on right, be it phone or PC or laptop, all suffer from the exact same problems. There is no answer that doesn't include a total revolution of the global economy, including China turning into a completely different country.
6 and half of 9 I have dealt with by, honestly, not buying AAA games anymore. Don't get me wrong, I didn't do this as a form of protest or an acknowledgment of the issues, I did it because AAA games no longer serve me. "Uncharted Syndrome" has become terminal as games have become loaded with boring, unchanging, stiff, cinematic set pieces. Arena online multiplayer is mandatory. Challenge has dropped off. Who needs it? All I play these days are indie games in the vein of Hotline Miami, Super Meat Boy, La-Mulana, and a lot of Kickstarted stuff.
7 is something I have yet to see any ramifications for.
8 and the other half of 9 are the things I feel the strongest about. What you say in 8 is what I find to be massively responsible for the second half of what you talk about in 9. Who has that disposable income? Who has the parents with money who can feed that hobby during childhood? Who has the disposable time that would otherwise be spent working putting a roof over their head or putting themselves through college?
Whitey.
So who makes up the largest section of the video game consuming audience? Who gets catered to? Who do you see represented in video games? Who screams and cries whenever there's any deviation to that at all?
Whitey.
So, how have I dealt with that? After dealing with video game communities and video game people for years, almost two decades at this point, I have dealt with it by taking a massive step back and VERY much distancing myself from Gamer Culture. I've been seeing stuff like GamerGate coming down the pike for a very long time, and seeing it finally break is what really pushed me to go "you know, I really don't even like you people or your shit anyway, what am I even doing dealing with you?" You won't catch me on any other video game site outside of this one except for MAYBE GB, and I rarely post to either.
Granted, starting school (after two decades...) was also a pretty big motivator for a lot of these decisions, but I'm a whole hell of a lot happier playing Shadowrun Returns and getting As on exams than I ever, EVER was going through that tank section of Uncharted 2 for the third time.
edit: I know a lot of these answers with 1-5 come off as a bit of a cop out, and honestly, they sort of are. But what would change any, even an iota of that, is a revolution that absolutely no one (who would benefit from it) can afford. And I don't mean that in a "oh we'll be uncomfortable" kind of way, I mean we can't afford it in the "they'll fucking actually factually fucking kill us" kind of way. So, until you get someone whose willing to risk their lives to put bullets in all the right people's heads, FOXCONN is here to stay.
