What is sad about Amiga

[koaftder]

I made a buck writing some code for PalmOS. I'll never make a dollar writing something for AOS.

With that attitude there's no arguing with you.

Write something some people might want to pay for and you might make a buck.  :-D

I did, just not for AOS. Nobody can buy AOS, thats why I can't make a dollar on that platform.

I would pay if you coded something good  :-P
There are still people who own amigas you see.. You will probably not get rich or even make a living out of it, but you will definitely earn a few bucks.

[amigakid]

Yeah if it is fun or productive for Amiga users, you can make money using shareware and stuff.

Nah, I paid $$ for Amiga Explorer.

There are a ton of things for the Amiga that people would pay for.

If new apps/games were developed for the Vic20, would you buy them? :-D

Change your strategy, I made bucks releasing HellChess. This is also an Amiga program but that remained free of charge. So write software for more platforms.

I've written several programs for *nix (GPL), and I'd never even dream of charging money for it.

It benefits the community and gives you Good Karma™.

[foleyjo]

Im sure you would if you made something that everyone wants for AOS. look at WHDLoad. They make money when new people register.
Then theres Apex. They are still making money from making Payback for the Amiga as it was that good it was ported to other systems.

And why everything should be about a buck Especially common with US people... cultural difference, which is greatly demonstrated in demoscene US coders won't code demos, because it doesn't give a buck

You may be onto something there.  So then the thread title should be: what is sad about koaftder? :-P

New games/apps even hardware are released for the 8-bit MSX computer and people buy it.

I always ask for PayPal donations for all my software (with the exception of Hively because its based on AHX), but to date have only received one payment.

Never mind. Maybe one day i'll write something people think is worth money ;-)
