Well said, sir, and thank you as always. My primary worry is just it being perceived as preferential, you know? Sort of a "why this guy and not the other" sort of deal.
I understand the sentiment and that's part of my hesitance with the whole situation as well. And even though I know for a fact (an unfortunate but inexorable fact) that certain members of the community simply are seen as more important or more influential, I can understand why one would not want one's name attached to a blatant endorsement of said fact.
To be honest, it doesn't look like it's going to happen anyway, with everything being so complicated and with the reality of the situation closing in; I just think people really,
really want to play with you, haha.
Now, I did consider what it would take to try and expand this offered help to the greater problem of people feeling left out of the community as they do not have access to a Wii U, and the main things keeping it from happening are 1) funds per giver vs. cost per recipient, 2) giver preference/control, and 3) boundaries quickly expanding further and further to try and include every person who's ever wanted a Wii U. From a logistics standpoint, there's just no way to do this fairly without one rich guy who
really cares about the Sm4sh Ganondorf sub-sub-sub-community who is willing and able to launch Wii U's out of a platinum plated, diamond encrusted catapult at a moment's notice.
