For anyone who's a game developer, would you consider making something for an older console? (either a port or something original)
I'm thinking from the Atari 2600 to the Dreamcast. I know many games have been released for these systems, & while some are easier to create something grand than others, I'm curious to know why not many program for it. Especially as it could work to promote the game on other platforms.

As a tangent to the current Pirate Software discourse, gotta say it annoys me to see people gatekeeping the term "game developer" again. "Game Developer" isn't reserved for programmers.
"If the game cannot ship without music, does that mean the musician is a game developer?"
YES. YES IT DOES.
Everyone that works on a game is a game developer.
QA is a part of game development. Marketing is a part of game development. Community management is a part of game development. I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
