I forgot to mention it is on sale for $29.95. It being advertised in their flier means it IS available in store at all of their locations.. Probably the first time anything with the AMIGA brand name has been mass marketed in many, many years.

I wonder how much royalties they can make from 1 game out of this game pack? After they pay the author I mean :-?

@Wayne

I agree completely, though I thought it was newsworthy enough though considering I stumbled accross the ad while looking thorugh the flier:-) Very minor, but better than nothing!(?)

Apart from that I want to say something else regarding all the crap that was posted on all Amiga related 'news'-sites.


Your an SDA developer and you don't like this news item?

Anyhow Wayne's point is as valid as anyone else's. He calls it as he sees it. Same with myself, I call it as I see it. Sometimes the Amiga Inc fans agree, sometimes they don't.

@amigaguy

There has been facts coming out, but people will believe what they want to believe. You cant force someone to "wake up and smell the coffee". All you can do is present MORE evidence when it comes available.

It's noble that you want to help. I think it's great that you want to share "the truth". Please do so. But your not our Dad, nor our savior.


Then people should ACT like adults and not children.

You mean like not talking trash "until" you actually have some evidence and are "ready" to show others??

Yeah, yeah...In the mean time why don't you guys through a bunch of FUD out there and with claims of "Well, we'll have proof real soon now!". .


For the last time facts have been presented, many refuse to accept them. Wayne will have more, undisputble evidence this time, soon enough. I'm pretty sure I know what he's talking about, and it will be undeniable. That's not FUD. FUD is claiming a comeptitor's product is illegal.

As far as I'm aware FUD stands for Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt.


Yeah I know, like stating you are going to shut down your "illegal' competitor.

If I'm not mistaken you posted earlier you havnt been around lately, so how would you know if evidence has been presented? Besides anyoen who's been paying attention knows what Wayne is talking about. The "evidence" isnt exactly an impossibilty to get. Anyne with a word processor(or a pen), a blank sheet of paper, an envelope and a stamp can obtain the evidence.

But it seems from your recomendations and other, Wayne would rather say no more until he has the evidence in hand, so i don't want to spoil his surprise. :-D
