I think you are correct. Koster seems to get a bit too political in his article, but I think there is room in gaming for a "subsidized" system, albeit more like HBO: one subscription base, content creators get paid essentially based on their number of users/viewers. Such a system does not have to be exclusive of course. Side note: I also read A Theory of Fun almost a decade ago and it is still one of the better books I have read on the subject.
