When I think of online-based fighting, what comes to mind are Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, etc.
That stuff has it's own Cable and Pay-per-view channels in Korea, there are even courses one can take in order to advance their gaming online. If the uninitiated masses honestly consider LARP and SCA to be weapons-based martial arts, it might not be long before certain games are roped-in as well.

After all, a great deal of recon and some combat is done via remote-control these days (the MRAP sometimes comes equipped with remote-controlled weapons which require qualification for proper deployment) and computerized simulations (games) are frequently used as training for these control systems.

It adds to the reasons why the drop-out rate for Kendo and other legitimate 'traditional' dojos seems to be so high.
