That hinges on an assumption though, doesn't it? It's equally meaningless in reality as for instance an argument that players who play commercial MUDs do it because of the stricter standards for admin-player interaction. I know many hobbyist MUDs are much more prone to unequal player treatment, because of relationships between players and admin, be they financial or otherwise, because the admin doesn't need to keep a presentable, market-viable face to the playerbase. Does that prove a point of any kind?
The whole argument is based on nothing but speculation in the end.
