Title: Amiga Inc. STILL no updates?
Post by: Tension on February 28, 2010, 02:27:39 AM: Is no-one from Amiga Inc. going to even give us a statement about what's happening. If they have gone tits-up, could an ex-employee not let us know what's happening. Seems so strange that nobody knows what's going on.

Anyone from Hyperion on this forum? Surely they must know something...

The least they could do is release some statement saying they are ceasing operations or whatever, but no, nothing at all from them. This more than anything speaks volumes about how much they care about amiga, its users and fans, and the amiga lineage.

Hopefully they die a quick and quiet death.

What ex-employee? The problem is that there wasn't anyone left to pay the hosting/domain fees...

I don't think that's correct. The domain doesn't expire until June 2011, so there shouldn't have been any fees to pay until then. I believe the domain was actually suspended due to the contact details on the whois record being inappropriate. Still, the fact that nobody from AInc has corrected this and had the domain reinstated is quite telling in itself...

Its shocking.

It stopped being shocking after the coupon scam.

Now that Pentti Kouri is dead, I can't see anyone else foolish enough to invest in Ainc.

I hope eventually Hperion will take the remaing Amiga IP, they already have the rights to the most significant parts anyway.

Title: Re: Amiga Inc. STILL no updates?
Post by: motorollin on February 28, 2010, 12:57:16 PM: I am not surprised in the slightest that there has been no announcement.

They don't deserve it. They didn't meet their contractual obligations in the 2000's with AOS4. Amiga Inc is just as much of a victim of Hyperion's incompetence as Hyperion is a victim of Amiga Inc's insanity. As far as I'm concerned they can both burn in hell.

Post by: orb85750 on February 28, 2010, 04:52:54 PM: It's funny to hear someone talk about Amiga Inc. being the victim of Hyperion (or anyone else). Did AI ever follow through on anything or was it all a bunch of lies? My favorite was the $10 Million stadium sponsorship deal.

Now, that was epic.

Post by: Dr_Righteous on February 28, 2010, 05:51:47 PM: Amiga Inc., all incarnations of it, alienated themselves from the community that stood behind the name. No one else cared. So they really didn't have a prayer of being a solvent corporation. It was all a scam from my point of view.

Hmmmmmm, that sentence reads a little funny.....
