Tateru, that's part of it. The budget to buy big ads on TV makes gaming appear respectable, which makes mainstream journalists more friendly toward covering it.
I just don't see the journalists as motivated by economic threat, though. What they're mainly interested in is promoting mainstream, middle class norms, and promoting the idea that anything that deviates from those norms is dangerous or stupid or both.
