You are a man of... peculiar tastes, Mr. Jonesy by blackwater 09/02/2019, 10:09am PDT
I think most Mr. Peanut types would rather get a nice well-restored arcade cabinet for their McMansions. If nostalgia is the point, you want the original 198x version of whatever.

Dealing with software developers is also painful, even if you are Bill Gates. And if you're not Bill Gates, then software developers are probably out of reach for you. Fully loaded with benefits, you're looking at at least 200k a year for a mid-tier developer, and it only goes up from there. This is not an area where the upper middle class can play. Real 1%ers only.

Having dealt with a few independent contractors in my day, I can say that people often don't deliver, even when the job is just... like... painting a fence. Or they ask for more money. And we all know Kickstarter's record.
