How many commercial games are there now? Dave has three, Himalaya have one, and Herculean have one. I think there are a few more. It's probably less than 10 though.
It doesn't seem to me that the commercial games are very different to the non commercial so far. All are made by semi amateur teams, and although commercial releases tend to be better quality than average, they aren't in a totally different league. On the other hand I do think that if people want to, it could be a good idea for people to mark their released game threads as commercial or not, for those who are more or less willing to buy games. A new forum for it would be nearly empty, so I wouldn't go for that, but a special category listing on the games DB could be helpful.
A commercial project has organised to give money to CJ for special support/features before, but on the whole he's not been interested in that kind of thing. He has a regular job, and indie adventure game dev isn't exactly a big money spinner.
