If we're going to survive, at least one of the companies involved has to find a way to motivate sales outside the existing (dwindling)
Actually I addressed your point multiple times, and you've chosen not to understand it.
Its the above assumption that is entirely unrealistic. We cannot use this community as a springboard to 'outside' success...this community is not large enough for that.
This community has to grow much larger, before that is a realistic option. And the companies, genesi and amiga, inc. let this community dwindle while concentrating almost entirely on that outside community you speak of.
that is the same strategy that they have been trying with FAILURE for the past several years.
everyone keeps looking at the fact that the sales are mainly in this community and looking at that as the PROBLEM.
the sales are the good thing. The lack of sales are the problem.
Realistically speaking, they need to get their head out of the clouds and see where sales really come from, and then improve on that.
the political analogy may be hard to understand, but its still apropos...sometimes people get their head around a concept and they can never pull their heads out of the clouds.
What you propsed Wayne...is exactly the same thing that has been proposed over and over again, with nothing new added, for the past 5 years.
