I visited the article only to make sure it mentioned the novel "The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop." by Robert Coover. I was thinking about that book just yesterday. I find something about the way it goes "all in" on a tabletop gaming system deeply appealing. Probably for the same reasons I find pencil and paper RPGs and programming computers appealing.
