Not a terrible idea... in fact you may want to have a chat with carinswm about this. As he had mentioned earlier that he is interested in this avenue.

The leap from from Amateur to Professional doesn't have to go the way of the traditional IBM token businessman, but companies like id and Apogee did rather well and had some success(to say the least with the Doom and Quake series, under the id Software label). They just needed a good game and a good concept to help them take off. The business world is much, much more accepting of this trend especially these days where 13 year olds are super-hackers and highschool kids are CEOs of their own business.
