Usually these words are team-building killers. Consider that people have a finite amount of time and if interested in game dev, would rather do their own thing than others. Ask yourself how many teams YOU joined for free and then project that onto others.

I've found out that there are two types of teams: co-located group of friends that work for free and remote or co-located teams that work for compensation. I have NEVER seen a remote team brought together out of the blue build a successful project for free on this or any other forum.
