I don't know if this is what you mean (pretty sure it's not), but this line made me remember the thought I had a few months back that a possible future of the hobby will be that the Internet will give people the means to help make or find games that will satisfy the goals of their particular group.
Essentially, a game for every group.
This makes NinJ go "A bookshelf with thematic games..."
... is better than one without. If I want to do a game about personal relationships, I want Prime Time Adventures. But when those personal relationships are about violence toward and power over other people? I want Dogs in the Vineyard.
