I think about the "needing to be already successful" aspect to creating art a lot. An unknown writer couldn't get their Ulysses (which I feel UFO 50 is, in a way, the Ulysses of games -- as ridiculous as that proposition is) read or a filmmaker couldn't get their Inland Empire seen without the kind of money and exposure that success brings. It's a shame you have to succeed through more conventional means first. It makes sense why that happens, obviously, but nevertheless.
