The really sad part is that Escom picked up the remains of Commodore for something in the neighborhood of $10 million - and that was when there was product to sell, a healthy market to sell to, and a healthy pool of skilled first- and third-party professionals available to develop for the platform.
Now, with the brand name tarnished, no products, no non-hobbyist developers, and the few remaining intellectual property assets in a perpetual state of legal Hell, they have the audacity to demand ten times as much money.
It boggles the mind.
