I definitely hear what you're saying (my background is in interactive games)...aside from MMOs, this is another compelling reason why a unified online framework like XBOX Live works so well.
Things like Gamervision are more focused on networks for gamer interests ("life outside of the game"), i.e. discussing things that matter to gamers. There's another one specific to WOW called Rupture that is VC-backed and founded by Shawn Fanning of Napster fame.
Again, I'm not defending things like Gamervision. I'm more keen about Raph Koster's work.
