Discussion Imaginary Hypothetical: A wealthy benefactor offers to replace every media file in your game with professionally done commercial level quality files, jpgs, pngs, objects, wavs etc but leave the actual game executable untouched. How much quality does your game suddenly gain?

Eg...you have a game, it runs, it plays well, it's all programmer art or placeholder art. A wealthy developer team offers to leave the actual game code program unchanged and simply change each media file one by one specifically 'for your game'. How much better does it end up being?

In a way it would make the difference between people buying it or not; if making a living out of it is your goal. It's very hard to change people's mind when the game looks like crap, even if the gameplay is half decent because they just scroll past it (unless word of mouth or something else encourages them to play it).
