I suspect the idea was that the news was the indie-go-go bounty being started.
Is it considered newsworthy what some dude dreams up and then wants to trick people out of their money for just because it's part of an indiegogo campaign? Anyone can set up a campaign there, and I don't think it should be treated as something newsworthy whenever someone makes their pipe dreams public.
No wonder Amiga has been plagued with vaporware and false hopes if people actually take this campaign seriously. You all deserve it!
