No worries about "market" and "sales," at least until after the job is done. This is what brings photojournalism/documentary photography closer to the realm of expressive art, where it belongs IMHO. If the game is intended to deliver financial rewards, there are other brands of photography to be pursued. And call your work thus too. Think of Koudelka's Gypsies: do you imagine he soused out a market first? Was sponsored by some evangelical crew? Yet his project will be eternal.
