iFusion Depends on the Market!!
« on: August 02, 2002, 01:27:31 AM »
Taken from: www.emaculation.com Dated Friday, July 26, 2002 (Warning! Site currently under construction)

I hope the paintball market is booming, because the emulators for the Amiga market sure is not.

That is why I asked Virtual Programming's sales deaprtment the following:

"Will Virtual Programming be continuing sale of the FUSION and iFUSION products for the Amiga in the future? Will the company be continuing the development of the product with Jim Drew and Microcode Solutions?"

Click read more for the reply.

This was it:

"It depends upon the market. Certainly there is no market for the classic Amiga now, but we are in touch with the right people to see about an OS4 version of iFusion. We will have to see how this develops."

I presume that "the right people" means Microcode Solutions.

Though this is diapointing in general, because it means that Fusion/iFusion for the Amiga is not available anywhere; Virtual Programming Limited OWNS the emulator, and if they don't want to sell it, no one will.

What is frustrating here is the fact that selling online is cheap. The company could take orders and create CDs with online documentation on an individual basis and sell the product without an expensive overhead.

Which I am sure is what Blittersoft did when they owned the product.

Or they could just give it back to Jim Drew.

@Red

Clockwise is just the owner of the Emulation site that I got the info from. I guess I should have mentioned that. Well he has clarified his position now anyway  :-)

@Clockwise

I did point out to everyone that your site is under construction. sorry if you were not planning on getting attention just yet but then again maybe this will 'motivate' you a little to get the new site up and running sooner ;-)

As for people who threaten site owners with lawsiuits, it just doesn't make sense. What has society come to eh? Now even the messenger gets shot. :-o
