Looks like a sinister plot! Posted Image

Hey, that was my quote. At some point. I think.

Well, personally, I believe it's a cheap grab to get people who like ares to play Deimos Rising. It's not what I would do, but some people don't have the acumen of el Jovei.

Now now people, there's nothing exciting about that. It's just an misplaced link , nothing more, nothing less, happens all the time. Nothing to see here, nothing of note...

Definitely a plot of some kind,
creeping revisionism, that's what it is.
We'll dial up some day, and Area Ares will have been subsumed into Demios, no more Ares.
Can't let that happen, can we...

Of course, now that we've noticed, Ambrosia is going to realise how this could benifit them, and whenever they release a new game, they'll 'misplace' a link from the new games site to an older one, and later fix it, pretending nothing ever happened.

Or am I just giving Ambrosia SW ideas...

Ambrosia is turning....

First EVO and then all the other games. Well, the "We only make games for Macs...." quote is long gone now.

Well, so long as they don't drop mac completely! (Microprose, Activision....)

Actually, Ambrosia isn't making games for the PC, other companies are doing the ports. (Contraband Entertainment for example)

Hmm...must be one heck of an error, I believe all the old game pages link to Deimos Rising.

Well, so long as they don't go completely PC. I imagine that that wouldn't be all that tough, if you knew the code and what not. I guess, although, that if they only accept from Mac Developers (which may/may not change-hopefully not) then they would have to port, so it would just be default for the mac. Maybe hope remains...

Yes but they're LETTING them do the ports. It's an issue of expanded market vs. Mac-Gaming-Pride.

As far as I, and I assume most people are concerned, all this means is that Ambrosia will recieve more money with which to continue making quality mac games, some of which may not even be ported.
