Hyperion bankrupt?

[Yasu]

Hyperion posted a new blog today.  Interesting stuff.  Doesn't act like a company that's "out of business".  Just glancing at it since I saw it pop up on Google+, thought I'd throw it out here for you guys to chew over.

It's an interesting text, but it's not really news. We have been told the same things with just less details in 2013:

We have said in the past posts we would be open to making our software compatible on MOS and porting it over if there is a commercial demand for it.

We have had a good amount of feedback from AmigaOS 3 users who want to have updated software.  The new PPaint sales for Classic Amigas have been better than anticipated so far, so it seems there is a small market for AmigaOS 3.x software still

I know, but you keep coming back to "AmigaOS 4". I have a hard time believing that there are so many more AmigaOS 4 users that it makes commercial sense and that MorphOS users are so few that it doesn't. If anything they should be about as many on both camps. Maybe AOS 4 users open their wallets more willingly but still.

I asked the curator about how everything was going since there are so much speculation (and silence from Hyperion). I just got this reply:

Dear Sir,

The company started an opposition procedure.

I expect the decision of the Court at the end of the month.

Yours sincerely,

This is usually said to be sarcastic but ...


Two more weeks!



Sorry, I couldn't help myself :p

I guess it's a good thing HE isn't bankrupt anymore, but I'm still worried. Remember all the years the dev team told people Warp3D is dead and Gullium is coming with the upcoming 4.2. Now, A-Eon is paying to port Warp3D to the HD cards (kudos to that!). THAT can't be a good sign.

Not to piss on anyones parade here, but maybe the state of 4.2 is a lot worse that people think.

I doubt it. Warp3D was ordered long ago.

Really? I remember when Daytona asked for missing functions to Warp3D on Hyperion forum and Solie closed the threads with the words that it was obsolete thanks to Gallium.

I mean, if Gallium is close enough to finished, then why do you need Warp3D?

[Yasu]

Yes, that was my point as BSzili and Olaf3 said.

A statement from Hyperions homepage:

The company is in the process of reorganizing itself by opening up its shareholdership and appointing a new exective director. More details on that will follow when all legal formalities are behind us.

What does this mean exactly?
