Amiga Future: Question to all Amiga dealers concerning the new child protection
Andreas Magerl writes: "In a short time the new child protection law will come into force. According to this law every game and CD-ROM purchased in Germany must be checked for an age certification. Currently that costs about 500 Euros [about $500 -DM] which makes it uneconomical for every Amiga game. The same thing probably applies to the Mac Market.
I would like to hear from Amiga manufacturers and dealers if they have been able to make sense of this? How are the individual firms reacting? How do they see the future?
Even now, when the law has not yet come into force, should we not react as quickly as possible, otherwise it'll all soon be over with the Amiga market. Sticking our heads in the sand is nothing. Challenges to this law cost 50,000 Euros and no-one can afford that!" (ps) (Translation: dm)
