One of the highlighted issues was that it's very difficult to maintain
freedom and fund the development of more complicated games e.g.
Wolfenstein series where the developer releases all the source code
under GPLv2 or GPLv3, but keeps the levels proprietary to sustain the
development.

So i was arguing about providing >2000 USD price pool that can be crowd
sourced to help sustain the development as usually the game can sustain
itself after it's playable and well known.
