Sorrow,
Only the older K6's have a problem. Why would HT invest the time to write fairly low-level code especially for this small segment of the market which is quickly shrinking as newer and faster CPU's come out? An applications developer writes an app for Windows, not generally for a specific CPU. Heck, if HT was going to spend time writing any enhancements, he'd likely get a larger return on that investment by coding to Intel's latest instructions than AMD's.
Quite frankly, he would likely be better off allocating resources to a Mac port. At least he knows there is some customers that would play the game because of it.
I doubt either thing would be "worth it" at this point however. We can't know that, but I bet HTC has evaluated it and made that decision. That's why he said no. Accept it, there is no reason to keep harping on it.

And she took a round coming 'cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir
Soon as we win this war"
