To be honest, I would never contribute to this fundraiser to release a game. If anything, I'd consider donating to a charity or someone else in need. Given that there are so many people who have 'real' life problems right now, I find it kind of distasteful to come to the community just to find 'fat pidgins' who can line their own pockets. Ie. That Japanese guy who originally had the game and registered on all of these forums bragging about the game and trying to promote it for sale.
It's the same thing that happened at the Assembler forums. Since the community there is well known for rescuing long-lost games, people (who have no interest in any long term contribution to the community), just join up and tease people with pictures in hopes of a fundraiser just to milk the 'cash' cow as much as they think they can get away with.
If you own a game, good for you. Enjoy it. If you want to release it, go ahead. But don't go bragging and talking about it, expecting people to start throwing money balls at you. To be honest, I'm kind of sick of all of these 'self-interest' fundraisers. "I have a rare game, what can I do? Not many people will pay a lot by themselves. I know, I'll try to organize a fundraiser so I can get paid for it!".
