Interestingly, I only agree with
@fchollet partially - this depends on the style of the game, the authorial intention etc. Today, drawings coexist with photos, paintings and renderings. But for many types of games PCG will be the norm, yes.
Sure, implicitly this targets games where procedural ecosystems are an appropriate choice, not literally all games. It may not even be a majority of all games, but certainly a large fraction of the mainstream ones.

Yeah, open-world games like GTA or Skyrim could (and will) definitely benefit from this in the future. I wrote briefly about a vision for this a few years ago: http://togelius.blogspot.com/2015/10/what-if-videogames-had-actual-ai.html … Since that post, things have happened not only in AI (obviously) but also in the game industry!

A cautionary tale is the attempts at building "unfettered" procedural ecosystems in Skyrim, that had to be abandoned because game-breaking events happened, such as entire villages succumbing to civil war even before the player first encountered them.
