Out of several responses I received, Two warned me about SW companies stealingprograms. Is this common? Realizing you can only copyright code and not ideas how can one get their package reviewed w/o a SW company taking the best of
the ideas from the program and coming out with basically the same thing?
Also based on what a few of you said I'm getting turned off of writing
anything for commercial purposes anyway.
note to those who sent me flames:
Just because I want to write a game for the ST does not mean I (or the world)
do not take my system seriously. Games are a fact of life. all computers,
cultures and even most animals have games. And besides the way I look at it
a good computer will produce a good game (some of the games on a Sun are
pretty hot!!!). Its not the fact that games out number productivity packages
for the ST that give it the "game machine" label its Atari's history as
a game console maker and the lack of vision from the top that gives it the
label. So come on folks lighten up on me willya?
