I still think piracy has some share of problems. People buy hardware because of software applications. If developer feels efforts will be pirated, he/she will move away from platform (iospirit for example). Amiga market has been dwindling (getting smaller) late 80s to early 90s till today. This meant that software sales were more critical at amiga platform than mac or pc. Fewer amiga users, mean smaller platform, mean greater need to recover or make $ to sustain themselves in business. making every sale count (after commodore's demise, how many companies can honestly make enough to live off amiga?)
Commodore: well i did mention that in my opinion A1200/4000 came too late and gave too little (should have been released more like 1989/90 not 92/93, with scsi and flicker fixers built in - connecting to TV was no longer cool but optional).
of course don't blame the few engineers left at commodore, but the management for not providing enough resources (people, money) :roll:
remember, Dave Haynie, in Deathbed Vigil or some other video talk about working on multiple projects and only one of them being approved by management? (lack of focus, management not understanding what they have).
imho of course :-D
I'll say the bad were 80% Commodore, 15% piracy, 5% pc taking over the world (remember apple also went out of business at one point). :lol: of course Commodore made pcs too, which is why i say pc 5% (pc compatibles).
