Ask HN: Do you think this is a reason to work without being paid?

I'm a remote dev, it took me a while to get to where I am now, working for fun brands on challenging projects, while also working on my own side-projects.

A while ago I watched a James Bond movie and thought "I want to have access to that kind of luxury, but would be embarrassed to keep it to myself". I came up with the idea to set up a network of talented devs + designers and give them access to perk-filled mansions all over the globe, in return for a few hours of fun agency work a day. I personally love the idea of surrounding myself with talent constantly.

Last summer I got a fun job in for Red Bull Music Academy, and was wondering if I could shape this into a try-out for the idea. It worked: many talented devs and designers applied. I initially thought it would be mostly rookies that would apply, but instead most applicants were experienced and highly skilled. Red Bull was happy too: we managed to build the most successful game of the year on the Mind Gamers platform.

Next try-out is in Bali, 1- 27 Feb 2019. We're building the sequel of a VueJS synthesizer game for Red Bull Mind Gamers, built with Tatsuya Takahashi. 2/5 slots still available.

I noticed quite a few people don't like the idea of working for free, when I post about it online. My question: what is your opinion on this? If you are amongst the ones taking offence: can you think of what we can change to make it more appealing to you?

Help is highly appreciated!

The initial message:

Imagine you could stay and work for free in a perk-filled mansion, amongst world's most talented devs + designers, in exchange for a few hrs/day agency work for inspiring brands.
