Talk of Hyperion porting games to Linux on slashdot : Comment 67 of 70 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 25-Apr-2003 22:53 GMT | In reply to Comment 66 (AmiTroll): The Amiga versions only make money if you allocate the licensing and development costs to the other ports. They cannot make money on their own. This was true two years ago and it is equally true now, which is why you won't see things like Quake III ported, or any other game which has already been ported to Linux or Mac.
All Amiga porting needs to be subsidised by the other versions, directly or indirectly. That is simply the state of the market. It cannot stand up for itself. |
