Bartle's Indie MMO Conference Keynote
Here's an Indie MMO conference going on in Minnesota (?) and it looks like Richard Bartle's keynote was really good.
Gamasutra has a good synopsis, and Bartle has posted slides.
His keynote looks back 20 years, from the year 2028, and paints three alternate portraits of the future: One in which game designers and other creatives thrive (the good), one in which lawyers and accountants stifle development (the bad), and one in which business and academia drive VW's to practical usage - and thus make them mundane in the process (the ugly).
On the front of the second of those possible futures, Congress recently held hearings on Virtual Worlds.

Yep, it's in Minneapolis. I was there, and it was really impressive! I had the best roundtable discussions ever.
