I think a lot of cool stuff could come from hobbyists rather than from companies. As a hobbyist you can focus on what you enjoy and try out new concepts that a company might not be as willing to attempt. I have seen good MUDs made by hobbyists. The issue though is that you usually don't know about these MUDs as to discover them requires you to play the game a while. There seems to be gems in the stack of MUDs.

One MUD I visited *really* impressed me. Oddly enough it had 0 players ;-).
