It's cool as a fun project, but I don't see how this could possibly be commercially viable, especially with cartridges. The need for physical distribution alone is already a huge money burden on both the producer and the consumer.
Why does it need to be commercially viable? What's wrong with doing it for love of the game?
It's a product for sale.
There are tons of people who are fine not profiting from their cottage industry projects, but it's not expected that someone wants to lose money on them.
Is this...sarcasm?
no, this is earnest anti-commercialism
I don't think that's a great model for the maker who is clearly trying to SELL things.
Seems that might be a competing idea...
