[META]Revenue Model

So there's been some talk of a new and exciting revenue model that GMD's trying out with Eldritch Errors, which is terribly mysterious and going to kick in sometime next year. So when I came across the following bit in Wired, it caught my eye.

Wired wrote:
As a result, many ARG developers want to break out of marketing entirely and find another way to make money. Novelists, film directors, and television producers get to tell their own stories; why not ARG-makers? GMD Studios, the company behind the ARG for Audi, has been running a game that it hopes will spawn graphic novels and maybe a TV show.

from Wired Magazine.

Could it be? I'd certainly buy a graphic novel.

So the players become "characters" in the graphic novel? That would be very very interesting/sweet.

Oh God no, I fear I will be portrayed as a bumbling buffoon.

Maybe we'll get to play ourselves Laughing

But on a more serious note, I wonder how this will work, for its own graphic novel about previous events (EE the beginning?) I think they are going to need a much bigger player base then what they currently have (I REALLY don't want this fourm to turn into 1-18-08*shudder*)

However they can take a page out of the fanatsy realm (dragonlance) and write the book/novel/?? from the plot/reactions/developments of the ARG.

Personally, I would like to see the second option, but it would be much easier to make more money through the 1st option.
