Microsoft and Amiga Games Inc press release

[guest3110]

Interesting...

"Microsoft will co-market the release of the gaming titles via  Windows.com and Windows Store promotions, Windows social marketing, and  Surface Store Picks."--from the press release

[tone007]

"Amiga Games Incorporated, and its library of over 300 titles, have been purchased for $500,000 by Writers' Group, a company that acquires and distributes digital content."

Are they distributing any Psygnosis games?

AFAIK Sony still own the rights to those games so would be amusing to see Sony crush McBill in court.

Game list is super secret for some reason.

You have a post about the new CEO on this website:

You're joking when you you say you don't understand why the list is "secret", I hope...

Someone care to explain why 2 different people are saying they are "president" of AGI?

Keep in mind there's nothing exclusive going on here. Emulated classic Amiga games won't be saving Windows Phone 8 from certain doom and death. With less than 3-4% marketshare it may soon share the same fate as the Zune. These emulated games are already on Blackberry and also coming soon to iOS and Android.

I can play them all for free on Android already

I never said you wrote it.

Perhaps I should have said "there is a post" instead.

I wonder how long this guy (if it is silly billy again) will continue to rob the corpse of amiga.

How this guy, who has done nearly ZERO for amiga continues to think he is owed money or a living from amiga is beyond me.

Somehow if it is him I'm not surprised. He's been robbing the corpse of amiga for how many years now? Its ridiculous.

Make sense that he would start a new shell, the old shell probably has debts again he wants to unethically (and some would say illegally) get out of.

Take heart, he has to kick off some day.

Is there an actual mention of this upcoming release on any of Microsoft's website ? I read "joint" statement everywhere, but only saw it on Amiga's website...

As I said in the thread I linked to, here's one problem:

2 different people claiming to be president

Obviously if Bill had been replaced it would say that. It does not. And it's supposed to be a corporate update.
