I don't think anyone is trying to fork Dwarf Fortress and sell it on a different platform.

Actually, even if they did, they would likely have proved the market to the founders earlier; maybe lighting a fire under their feet to monetize quicker. The current renaissance of DF via the Steam release could have happened five years earlier -- inspiring five more years' worth of other business-focused indie developers...

You catch the drift. I like the OP's system hah.
