I don't. Because this isn't really about that.

1) It legitimizes the market demand for adventure games in a very public and open way, distanced from all other possible factors. These are people saying "I want an adventure game, BECAUSE it's an adventure game, and no other reason." Think of all the times Double Fine was probably turned down by publishers on an adventure game pitch over the years. This proves them wrong.

2) This is a passion project, it's about fans gathering to say they want Tim to make the game that Tim wants to make. It's showing that we value the creative freedom of our artists.

If the pitch was a specific game, it would weaken those two points.
