Dear Friends:
For a long time, I wish I could own the rights to amiga, to do my best
to help amiga succeed.
But now I realized, that to help amiga, all I need to do, is to develop
new amiga games and new amiga animations.
I am looking forward to help the world of amiga !!!

What is your plan or your help? just curiosity.

i can see this going south fast.

"Hope" is not a plan.....and hell will be full of people who had good intentions.

Well, u r 20 years late :-)
I had some ideas too back then but not the right age and money.
Now I have the right age but the money is still a dream, lol.

They have licensed their most useful IP's to Hyperion and CUSA, so what's left besides making game apps etc for mobile phones which they already do at the minute.

And CUSA currently suffers from a slight case of existence failure, so we do not expect anything to come from that anymore. Not that their plans were really relevant to what Amiga users are here for anyway.
So, depending on your faction preferences, the only IP that matters is in the hands of Hyperion, MorphOS team, or AROS teams.

If I were king...
To an extent, I think that whatever McEwen Inc. still has should be rescued from him/them, but t the same time I also thing that is largely irrelevant at this point.
If I were wealthy enough for such things, I would make an offer to buy whatever McEwen Inc. still controls, just for the because of it. While I don't think it's necessary at this point, I'd figure out what the actual agreements are between entities, and make sure that things are friendly with Hyperion, as OS4 happens to be where I'm at. If it would make sense to do so, I'd extend olive branches to MOS and AROS groups, but I'm not sure that's really relevant to them at this point. I'd invest in things I find myself important, get some hardware that I want to have made, primarily for OS4, but offer it to MOS/AROS groups as well and fund ports if there is any interest there. I'd fund some development for drivers I care about and APIs that I care about, and such things. I'd put up funding toward an x86 port, if the required developers were willing to take the job, but I don't believe I would be in any position to make demands or force anything.
Unfortunately, I am not wealthy. I am well underway (currently homeless, in a way) to putting myself into great debt, with the goal of acquiring a different set of walls and roof for my family and I to dwell within. Though I am also working to resurrect a development company, and gradually fund my own projects as my paycheck and other finances allow, as well as returning to EE/CE graduate program to learn some additional relevant engineering stuff that I've either forgotten since my CE BS in 1998, or haven't had the experience of before, so also do things as time allows, which is actually a more challenging obstacle than money is.

Do you have much money to invest in Amiga?
-
If I had the cash: New A1200s with up to date connectivity and choice of 68030 or 68060 with a boat load of fastmem.
-
Warren Buffet could resurrect the Amiga!

There is no IP left, it all expired. There is simply the domain name, the right to make computers named Amiga and copyright on the AmigaOS. Hardly worth worrying about, especially since Amiga Inc has permanently given the rights to develop AmigaOS to Hyperion.
-
If I had lots of money and the know how, I would make a tablet computer with an FPGA and Arm processor and port both the Amiga os and Android to it making it dual boot

What is the cost estimate for the Amiga rights?

There's no reason to estimate it when you can simply write to Darren Cohen and ask what he wants. (evil grin)

ROFL. I was wondering who you were talking about so I googled it. Here's a link for anyone else:

There you go, why not just drop him a line? ;)

Anyone actually considering doing so should probably consider reading what others have to say and deciding for themselves what is true...and what effect such information would have on receiving an honest answer.
For example:
The Amiga scene will not improve until either Acer pulls the licensing agreement, which I doubt they will do because Amiga Inc and Hyperion have driven the value of AmigaOS and branding to near worthlessness, or Amiga Inc. and Hyperion go bankrupt and somebody gobbles up the remains in bankruptcy court. Which is probably not too far off.

Like I said...you decide what is true given few facts are public here and you need to do your own homework. heh.
