- As of the last time I spoke to SSI (a few weeks ago) they WERE dropping the
- Amiga (actually, they pretty much HAD dropped it). To clarify, they will
- continue to SUPPORT the software that is out (I think), but will not be
- developing more software for the Amiga... which, in a way, is strange, as I
- remember reading somewhere (I tend to think it was in an SSI press release)
- that they will be destributing FlashBack... but maybe just the IBM version, not
- sure. I'll have to check this out.
-
- As far as EA goes, I've not OFFICIALLY heard this from anyone but people asking
- here. I've never even read anyone SAY it here. I'll have to check on this next
- Monday. I'll report my findings. I DO doubt that they would drop the Amiga.
- They have QUITE a following, and it would be a BIG mistake.
