Thats the final step from hobby to (bizzare) cult .....

Porting open-source stuff or writing something exclusive for non-profit is a hobby.

Doing it for just enough money to recoup the cost is still a hobby.

Doing it for money, while taking the risk of failure is also o,k.

Put giving a company money to port something that one allready played (*)
in the hope that these will eventually really finish it, is insane.

(*) let's face it, most of us do have a Wintendo-box, or would we know these
games in the 1st place  :-o  ;-)
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
