Okay, apologies Wayne (the way things are going recently I thought it was yet another dig at Amiga Inc). It just seems as if every time something positive happens for Amiga Inc, sombody's always there to undermine it and go on about the coupon scandal/Bolton Peck even if they know very little about the facts.

As far as I can make out, bearing in mind that I know no more than you do, I should think that the nature of Amiga Inc.'s relationship with Microsoft would enable smaller software programmers who wouldn't be taken seriously to get their products on the shelves, and Amiga Inc would be able to provide support for the platform? This is just guess work tho...

Also I believe I heard talk of Amiga Inc creating the api's in use by the games.

If Microsoft wrote "it", why would they need to license "it" from themselves?

@wayne

>>What pisses me off more than anything is Bill McEwen and "Fleecy Moss" consistent and intentional inability to support the community.

One, its blatently not deliberate. In the words of bbrv "It's business."

Two, is this REALLY the thread to be bringing your well know, well repeated annoyances with amiga inc up in?

@ Quixote

Not only the distribution, but the APIs used in the game have been developed by Amiga Inc - and we're talking about a lot of APIs (see fleecy's earlier comment)! Obviously, some people are prepared to ignore this fact and criticise amiga inc and call them redundant anyway - but there's no change there as per usual! :)
