As a slight tangent, I find it very odd that the article refers to Magic as a kid's game multiple times.
As a kid I definitely played a lot of Magic, and much more than I do now.
But when I was trying to put together a playgroup, no one was interested in something so complex, and I went to multiple nerd schools. Pokemon was played, and later Yu-Gi-Oh, but very little Magic. Across three different schools I managed to put together a group of about six kids who cared at all about it.
Meanwhile, going to any comic book store, or Friday Night Magic, there were dozens of people in their 20s and 30s. Usually even a dozen older than that. As kids we were always outnumbered.
