| Talk of Hyperion porting games to Linux on slashdot : Comment 66 of 70 | ANN.lu |

>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.
They probably hope to make the money on the Amiga and Mac sides. And who knows, the linux versions might sell too. But i'd think telling IncaGold that you won't make linux ports would have been a deal killer. Look at it this way, if you were CEO of IncaGold and someone came up to you saying they want to port to Amiga, you'd totally dismiss them. Amiga is such a small player right now it's not funny. Sure, you can sell to amigans, but not 1000000 copies. I think Linux had to be a part of the deal includeing Mac and then even Amiga or there would have been no deal at all.
Of course, i'm only speculating. :)
