When my all in stake is about, oh, say $5k - how can you afford not to try? Making it good is tough, I've been at this for nearly half of a year and I'm only now hitting my stride ( a level per week )

Especially if it's just gratifying to say you released something you're proud of. I have no illusion AAA titles with big budgets/advertising budgets and higher polish will give it a slim chance but,

Its better than a lotto ticket I'd wager.
