Pardon me? Hobbyist MUDs are, by and large, newcomers to the MUDing scene. The very first MUD went commercial, and nearly all of the MUDs from the first 9-10 years of MUD-dom were commercial.
You're doing it again. Don't try to tell the mud community what it can and cannot do or what it should and shouldn't be. Why don't you let the mud community decide for itself by deciding what games people in it wish to play?
