To state the obvious, the Amiga hasn't had great appeal when compared to
the PC and the Mac. If people haven't heard of it, haven't used it, and
don't know what it's about, we can hardly expect them to want to port to it
– even if it might enhance their product, or that it would be easy to port
their engine, etc. Second, getting into a new market costs time, effort
and money. If the payoff isn't obvious, I expect few takers. Xiphias is
porting to CDTV, their name was on several CDTV demos. BTW, I think the
CDTV demo CDs were demos made with AmigaVision, not real engines. They were
mastered on real CDs, but may have been "just" hard disk images of these
demos…
