They have paid for a license to a very powerful program they used for many years.
Nothing more.
When Cinemaware came up with Defender of the Crown for the Amiga I was a
true C=64 believer. They abandoned the C=64 completly ! And - I payed for
my games. Now, how was that ? I wrote them a letter how I felt abused as
being a "beta-tester" for their Amiga releases. Man, I hated them. They
never answered....

The other side of the coin looks like this to me:
There was a once strong platform which has born some of the best programs
ever. One being Dopus. Now, the platform is close to dead, at least the
programmers have to survive, they might even die of hunger if they try to
stick with the Amiga before the last Amiga goes to the nirvana.

No, both, the meaning and the form of his words are ill-minded. This
stupid "I was a beta-tester for Windows" is really annyoing me. It is
completly senseless.
Good bye,
