I think it fair to remark that the story, though an entertaining one, is merely a carefully filtered version of the "truth".
The reality is probably that neither side were really prepared to relinquish enough control or give the other side enough to make the deal work. Essentially both sides will have wanted "something for nothing".
Portraying Amiga Inc as a bunch of beggars who were manipulated by the evil Ben Hermans into breaking a deal with the reasonable and generous Ralph Schmidt is pretty laughable.
