No, I think none is less humiliating.


I think you better ask that from those Amiga DE developers. They know how it feels..  

Ah sorry.. They are all under strict NDA.s... so they can't tell  :-x

@Paul_Gadd
Do you have ANY idea how much making all new and up-to date 3D  game would cost? (1Million USD ain't much these days)  There is NO hope on making profit even to PC-Linux or Mac user bases, even less on minimal marginal groups like Amigaone and Pegasos owners.

Sorry, there are only 3-4 platforms these days that are big enough for risking such much $$$, and those are big game-consoles and Windowse-PC.  And even with those, not all games make it.

So it's not only technical issues, like lack of 3D drivers to latest cards and lower CPU speeds, but economical too. 3D Drivers can be made (and OS4 can appear) sometime soon but having enough users/purchasers for games takes a lot more time.  

But you are right about fresh blood. Someone  have to start making new games, and if they can't be comparable on production costs, they have to b better on other merits..

I wouldn't gloat - MOS looks like it's heading for the same fate.


Well,, IMHO it's too early to tell where this all goes in the long run. Personally I belive more to MOS/Pegasos future than to OS4/Aone but I have no money spend to them yet. Only investment has been time spend on getting familiar with products and that's not too much.
