Be careful with the way you ask for help, it can move some of the right people away.
I hope Salamandre pardon me for using him as example but...
I subscribed to this forum after discovering there was something called WoG that allowed me to customize my favorite game (when that was already Era II). Of course, I wanted everything for tomorrow. By then if I had proposed to pay Sal to write my routines for 5 buck a line, he would stick me the middle finger.
Yet, if I asked on ERM Help and Discussion for a way to do it, he would call me ignorant in a not polite manner and then write 20/30 lines doing all I wanted, with safeguards I never thought about and had it done, for free, in less then 24hs...
The fact is just as you said,but the things that programmers care about deeply are things that players don't care about at all.
For example, the recently successful example is "balatro", Many programmers mock his code as stupid and chaotic
But the player likes it, and he has also humorously talked about it himself

Or a profit-sharing model?

I never did that, are you on micro-aggression level or what 
All I aimed is tickle a bit your ego enough so you get that, at least could learn it, while I had zero knowledge in coding languages, everyone can, is as simple as that.
Well, except Ghost ofc mainly because he can't write any text or code in proper order so won't do it.

And I thought your problem would be with me sounding like I was taking advantage of your good will...
I couldn't be more nostalgic or grateful about those times. I even felt embarrassed of my feelings while writing that.
Thank you once again, GM Salamandre.

Letter from Master Greg,the Lead Planner of Homm3 Game
Hello.
Thank you for writing. Also, thank you for your previous email from 2023-04-01.
As for your video, it was interesting to watch, and definitely presents a re-interpretation of the game. Best of luck in your mod efforts.
If you have not read my last Newsletter from January, I am concluding development of Fanstratics, because of my ongoing health issues.
On April 1st, I will be taking down the website and its associated emails.
Again... good luck in your venture. Video game development is a tough road to walk.
Take care.
Greg
Former Fanstratics Game Director & Designer
