Microsoft game pack in COMPUSA national flier.

I'm also an SDA developer and I recognize how hard it can be to see the light in the tunnel when you don't get enough info and you have hords of people with their own agendas or they are simply egotripping blurring the whole picture using the classical divide and conquer tactic.

I'm glad several here felt reassured after reading Onno's, Fleecy's and the other comments by people that actually know what they are talking about.

comments by Wayne about not going directly to Microsoft; Amiga provides lots of services to the developers, instant support, QA of products, providing resources for presentation and development of games, acquiring exclusive deals like the one with Microsoft (I for sure couldn't have pulled that by myself), of course building the easy-to-use and developer-focused APIs taht Fleecy mentioned and more. Hell I've had lots of laughs and good times by just chatting/communicating with Amiga employees and other developers.

I see your point and I tend to agree, although I commented his comment not his person, so I can't see how that would be an insult, I could of course have dropped that adjective and apologize if it was taken as an insult.

However I think Wayne has been pretty well-informed and knowing lots of what has been happening at Amiga and what they have provided and created so I regarded his comment more as a provocation (the reason I addedt the on purpose question in parenthesis)  rather than an sincere question.

My point really is, and  I guess  you too would agree, that  it's obvious this opportunity would've been much harder to get if a developer was to make contact with Microsoft all by herself or even somehow talk TAO into making the framework Amiga has made and are still developing.
