When advantage play becomes null and void, will you still play blackjack?

In my mind there is no doubt that advantage play will become a thing of the past in just about all public casinos. It's just in their best interest because the only people they will lose are the people that have an edge over the casino, which is exactly who they want to lose. I really believe that within the next 10-15 years things like continuous shuffle machines will be the norm at just about all blackjack tables, making advantage play impossible for everyone.
Your mind will probably be mistaken, especially at the limits that I typically play (high).

As long as there are casinos, there will be suckers.
They recently converted one of four roulette tables to a single zero wheel at a nearby casino. The other three wheels are still cha-chinging away, while the new, single zero wheel struggles to get players. The gamblers don't feel comfortable with it. "It seems to lose too often". What can you say?!

Hey guys! New forum member here, and I'm somewhat new to implementing advantage play after playing using the basic strategy for years. Just for fun, I was curious as to if you guys would continue playing blackjack once advantage play is no longer possible.
No. Why the hell would I want to do that?

In their dreams. The greedier they get, the more tricks they try, and the faster we evolve to beat them. The games that we ravage now would have been considered unbeatable 20 years ago. It all comes down to who is smarter, and the casino industry is loaded with dummies with no work ethic. They are inferior to us.

When this happens, will you still play blackjack? I probably will, but it will be MUCH more casual.
The hubris of coming on to a message board, and expectting ur opinion to have weight or value.
