Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 84 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Fabio Alemagna on 08-Nov-2001 13:23 GMT | In reply to Comment 83 (adam): > i think u are looking on negative side of things..
Well, I think I'm looking at facts...
> your expectations are too high, how can hyperion a company with 10 programmers
> claim to compete against microsoft the biggest company in the world and all
> the games developers developing for it..
I'm not expecting anything like that, at all. I *know* that they cannot compete, but saying it so quietly sounds unwise to me. I mean, if I told you "Look, here you have my game and it costs 50, there you have the same game, it works better and costs 5", what do you do? There are two things you can do: you can say "ok then, obviously I don't chose yours, as it's evidently inferior to the other one" or you can say "well, doesn't matter if your is inferior, I want to buy it anyway because I'm part of this community and I don't want/cannot betray it. It's about spirit, etc...".
Now, if Hyperion is still producing SW for amiga it's mainly due to people that use to answer the second way, and those people will stick ALWAYS and FOREVER with AmigaOS, wherever it goes, because otherwise they would have gone away ages ago.
I think that the amiga community is mainly populated of fanatics... I'm sorry to say that, guys, but this is the impression that I get. I get also the impression that Hyperion wants to keep your eyes closed, so that you cannot see the "better" world outside. Puzzling is, thoygh, that they are pratically ADMITTING that yes, that's their strategy... I don't know if they realize this...
