It means that after a long silence Scamiga, Inc are back to their old tricks of Scamming, BullS&**ing and Bullying.

Just ignore them.  :-)

Its funny you say bullying because Im sure that vulcans amiga games (the mini series) were made free to download and now Amiga are saying we have to pay for them

Scamiga?  I love that name!  It's perfect to describe McBill and Fleecy (now could you ask for a more perfect name for a scammer?)

I don't think it'll be long now before the last holdouts abandon the platform and join Nick Veitch over in the linux world.

Woah - just had a sense of deja vu (I saw that black cat a second ago too).

Nick Veitch - why do I know his name?  Did he used to write for Amiga Format or CU Amiga by any chance?

He was a writer for CU Amiga, then editor for Amiga Format. Now he's editor in chief of Linux Format.
