Wayne wondered:
I'm beginning to wonder, in order to get paid, if software authors for the game packs ought to just go straight to Microsoft and cut out the middle man.
;-) It’s all about distribution. As I see it, Amiga’s role in this is akin to the distribution syndicates for the comic strips that we read in the newspapers. If you look closely at each strip’s copyright notice, you’ll see that they’re distributed by United Feature Syndicate, King Features Syndicate, Universal Press Syndicate, and so on.
:-? Can you imagine each comic strip’s author trying to sell his work to each paper in which it runs? Many of them are carried in hundreds of papers nationwide. It wouldn’t be feasible.
8-) Granted, Microsoft is Amiga, Inc.’s only customer so far, (that we know of) but there is the potential for more.
