We'll see i guess but i think the biggest mistake is allowing these new gtlds to be privately owned. they can do basically anything price wise they want. want a .rich domain? it will cost you $3000/year. Want to buy okay.game? I will cost you $1500/year and you go on forever with this. its set up to fleece people or so it seems. The registries want to be the domainers but when you've got 'premium' domains that can renew for as high as $10,000 or more per year, you'd be far better off buying a .com for $100,000 and paying 10 bucks a year to renew than $10,000 renewal for 20 years.
