I believe that this whole promotion is nothing more than a money grabbing exercise. I cannot blame them in one respect, times must be hard for them considering the effort they spent on DE and only now falling back on what they should have started and concentrated with.
At the start of the promotion it was stated it was for showing the world that Amiga was a sleeping giant and that it could be taken sersly, they introduced the money aspect to give it some weight; after all, jokers will hardly pay $50 just to screw some-ones interest polls.
But the way I see it, if this is nothing more than a poll of interest, why not set the figure to $5 or $10. This would do the same purpose for figures if it weren’t a money-grabbing scheme wouldn’t it? Customers would be far more likely to register their interest if it only meant loosing $10 if Amiga go belly up. Which must be in the back of most people’s minds especially with the current world stock problems
(Don’t get me wrong, I’m no tight git like so many amigans appear to be, but I refuse to throw away $50 to keep a company afloat that sofar has done NOTHING for the Amiga OS apart from letting it go to third party companies to carry the torch for them.)
