James,
Gee, how could you tell I was burned one too many times? <g>
We didn't want to drop Amiga support…we kept it going a long, long time. But
the stakes in the computer game industry have gotten steeper: there are a lot
more companies producing games, and yet the market did not grow at all in 1992.
So there's a lot more competition for the same number of dollars. That's
forced a lot of unpleasant decisions — we laid of 10% of our staff just a few
months ago, and other game companies have made much LARGER layoffs — and we
can only support those platforms that show the most potential for profit. I'm
not sure why Peter takes that personally.
