To summarize: seems like AInc. still got some money left to waste.

If that "news event" is not bogus then it is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.

"Amiga, the world’s premier provider of multi-media enabling technologies"

Hahaha!  Delusional!

So a company that could not afford to send out T-Shirts to all its coupon buyers, or develop any real products for several years, decides to spend millions to put its name on a stadium/theatre?

Here's some more info on the stadium (which doesn't even exist yet).

It seems someone forgot to tell the City of Kent that their new stadium is going to be named Amiga... ;-)

I emailed a few people to let them know about the kind of "company" they are working with in Amiga Inc.  It just seems like a publicity stunt by AI.

What are they trying to publicize?  They have no products the general consumer (i.e. hockey game fans) can purchase.

Maybe they'll bring out some 3rd class Windows CE hockey game for only $ 9.99  :lol:

edit: They already offer this hockey themed puzzle thingy for Windows. (http://www.amiga.com/shop/?prod_id=162&cat_id=11)  ;-)
