Not Comics: Future of Gaming Market

I've never been able to tell how closely related the hobby and comics industries are, but I recognized some comics-culture similarities in this speculative portrait of the (non-video) gaming industry's future by designer Kenneth Hite. For instance, Hite makes the point that the Internet creates a social circuit for fans that by necessity finds completion in the physical meet-and-greet provided by conventions, which makes sense to me. He also asserts that these events can also become the only places where many fans can access a certain kind of diverse product (hello, MoCCA/SPX), and makes a good point or three about the back-and-forth between distribution opportunities and company models that serve those different venues.
