No. The context was why AOS for x86 would mean the death of Amiga software. There is a difference. The point they were making, and this was specific, was that people with x86 systems only buy Windows software, and that Linux users won't pay for their software. The conclusion was that AmigaOS users on x86 would behave this way and would not buy Amiga software preferring to buy Windows software instead. That, in a nutshell, was their argument. They used the poor sales figures for their Linux port of Shogo to illustrate this. > Not that they will never make any x86 software. True, they never stated they would never develop for x86. > Now if they were to now plan to port another OS to x86 then you would have > a point cos thats what the arguments was about. No, see above. Their argument was not about porting the OS, but why an x86 AmigaOS would be a Bad Thing (tm). > It was not about We Will not port or develop Sw for x86. True, but they did say that no software for x86 can sell unless it's for Windows. The question as to why they are porting the IncaGold games to Linux given they presumably still think they can't sell enough copies remains valid.
