"Gorky 17" for MOS

[mongo]

yeah asking hyperion to port gorky 17 is like asking apple to port macos to x86. wont happen cause they will lose hardware sales or in hyperions case OS4 sales and amigas case Amigaone sales.

No one is making the choice between OS4 and MOS based on the availability of Gorky 17.

[mongo]

Gorky17 may not be the sole reason for a person choosing OS4 over MOS, but it could be a contributing factor.

No.

Also, certainly by the sounds of this thread, if Gorky 17 isn't ported then Hyperion and Eyetech may be making a few more sales than if Gorky 17 was ported to all platforms.

No, it sounds like Hyperion will be making less sales of Gorky 17.

So you're saying it's impossible for Gorky 17 to have any effect whatsoever on a person's choice of platform? That's a shame for Gorky 17 if you're right, that in a market with so few games it still has absolutely no pulling power.

For the price difference between a P2 and an A1, you can buy a PC and a copy of Gorky 17.

I can't see your assertion in the thread. Hyperion may have lost one sale, but then again they may have gained an A1/OS4 buyer, it is impossible for us to judge iamaboringperson's want of this game.

Unless iamaboringperson is insane, or has way too much money, he is not going to spend several hundred dollars just so he can play a port of Gorky 17.

And Hyperion will be making less sales than what? Than if they ported to MOS as well? That's true. But your sentence states that Hyperion will make less sales, it never asserts any difference between the way the situation is now and any hypothetical situations. So we have to assume that you're applying "less sales" to the current situation.

Why don't you take the context of my sentence into consideration? If you do, then it should be clear that I am saying that Hyperion will make less sales if they only port it to OS4 and not MOS as well.
