"Wesnoth may not be able to compete with the latest commercial blockbuster"
The graphics, sounds and music don't even stand up to commercial games from over a decade ago.
As for the "artists working for free are scarce" argument, I have to disagree. There's plenty of talented artists in the various 'mod' communities. Wesnoth just doesn't attract them because the underlying game mechanics are too 'old school'.

While the graphics are not as nice as those in commercial games, I have to say that Wesnoth is much nicer when it comes to gameplay.
I have lost way too much time to Wesnoth...
