- Hello--
-
- I have inquired recently about SSI and EA dropping Amiga support for their
- work. While it appears EA is solid behind the Amiga, after I talked to
- an SSI representative today, she confirmed that "...no new products will
- be converted to the Amiga unless the market situation changes..." She
- said that they are losing thousands of dollars for every game they convert
- to the Amiga, and the market simply isn't the US for their work.
-
- I asked if letters sent to SSI would help, and she indicated that
- they would. So, here is the address below:
-
- SSI
- 675 Almanor Ave.
- Suite 201
- Sunnyvale, CA 94086
- (408) 737-6800.
-
- I also am soliciting "signatures" for the petition below,
- to be sent to SSI (if anyone has any better ideas on the wording or actions
- in general please e-mail me directly).
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Please continue to support the large and growing Amiga market via continued
- development and porting of SSI works for the Amiga series of computers.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I have more than an altruistic motive in this--I am very interested in having
- them port one of their new games, Pacific War.
