This talk of video games has made me think of a better analogy:

Back in the day, music for video games needed to be done on the onboard sound chip. It was a limitation, but people worked around it. You could compose a great piece of music, record it with a large orchestra, and present it as 'music for a game' but if it didn't rock when constrained to the limitations of the onboard sound chip, no amount of wishful thinking would change the fact that what you wanted wasn't possible yet.

Please, on behalf of myself and all the other active themers, hear this and understand it: It is not a talent gap that is preventing this mockup or any other from existing, its is a capability gap. And you're just going to have to be patient. In the meantime, if you could please refrain from running down our efforts as a consequence of a lack of talent, it would be much appreciated.
