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 ;-)
