It would be really awesome if all those millions of people who clearly want to be able to honestly earn by playing would gang up to do it right.

One of my possibly ridiculous ideas alludes to the perennial popularity of "good stories"...

It seems to a possibly far-fetched imagination that if even relatively few awesome players played out some really good stories they could, simply by playing a decent game really really well, build together a Galactic Edutainment Network (GEN) that would drive and manifest such awesome tales that it would become a tempting acquisition target for the likes of Disney.

That would entail playing so well, probably being so welcoming to new players and helping new players develop striking characters with mass appeal to the audiences of empires such as the Disney empire, that in essence the players would be co-operatively building a "franchise" type of thing that ultimately hopefully the best players would end up eschewing the idea of selling out to the likes of Disney, pointing out that such parochial operations on such backwater (and possibly mythical) planets as the planet known as Earth are possibly themselves too tiny and trivial even to be considered tempting acquisitions for GEN...
