Let me ask you something: would you value a set of ~5 games that are an imagining of VCS-era console games as envisioned to exist in an alternate timeline where the Soviet Union was the predominant exporter of culture rather than the US?

Because that's the kind of thing I come up with and would be making if I had a life situation where I didn't have to sell entirely too much of my time for food, shelter, and health care.

So I guess what I'm asking (genuinely) is, is that the kind of art you really want to see a lot more of[0], and filter through, and one way or another pay for? Or is it perhaps better the production of such things is the domain of people who do not require such support?

[0] I do, but I'm clearly biased. Count me among the people who want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less.
