That's a valid point, but just for the sake of argumentation (honestly, I have no stake in this either way), consider that you do mention there being a market for such content (whether paying or not, that's another thing). Then there's the question on whether or not DPK would put his "artistic integrity" above financial concerns. I think yes, because ultimately both AL and BaDIK feel like something driven by the desire to tell a story rather than financial success, and the latter is just, as one wise man said, a happy little accident.
I don't know, it doesn't seem so clear-cut to me, but I appreciate that you might much better insight into DPK's preferences and goals than I do.
