When I in this context said "the computer of tomorrow" I simply meant
CPU's faster than today.
E.g., the PC developers develop for a CPU that is twice as fast as the
CPU's of today. Amiga developers develop for CPU's that are manitudes
slower than the CPU's of today. Sad, but true.

I don't know about this. They certainly intend to earn a lot with their
game for the PC. I very much doubt they have any intention of supporting
the Amiga, although quite a few of them has been quite active on the
Amiga years ago - if I remember correctly they made the much acclaimed
Hardwired demo. And I actually think they think game consoles are the
future in gaming.
I don't play games, so I really don't care.
