This is all part of the KMOS marketing strategy that A.Inc has inherited.
This is not such a bad thing. [Not the game I have to add] but A.Inc are putting software out there. There is no better way to self promote, market, sell & advertise other companies software developed through your own content platform at minimal cost to yourself.
It helps develop the AA platform - build a portfolio for the purposes of attracting external investment while in the process attracting consumers attentions to the Amiga[KMOS] concept/brand.
This is the start of a chain reaction - here is my opinion on what will happen as this chain of events unfolds.
1. Build on Amiga as an intellectual property.
2. Develop Amiga's/KMOS' internet based OS.
AA runs on most platforms including handhelds & desktops x86,PPC etc. thus producing a truly portable OS. Which has been utilised on set top boxes also. [remember Nokia's media terminal]
And in the long term.....
You rent your ability to run apps & games on your internet based OS - apps developed by Amiga, games licensed by developers to appear as part of the Amiga OS. Don't pay - don't play. Everytime a piece of software is launched you are charged accordingly directly from your bank. Amiga take their cut - the developers take theirs.
Sorry to hi-jack this post but somebody.....No. Wayne, post these words on A-Org somewhere. I want to look back at them a couple of years from now and [hopefully] gloat.
