amiga inc basically doesn't exist any more. they have no effect or influence on anything that goes on.
Wrong. They still hold the IP, making it impossible for anyone with capital and ambition to go on and actually do something with the Amiga. They still demand ridiculous licencing agreements which confines OS4 to whatever unfitting hardware Eyetech can scrape up from the hell of abandoned evaluation boards and keeps the community tiny and useless. They claim money from both Eyetech and Hyperion's efforts while doing absolutely nothing of their own.
And worse of all they keep all this going by their constant shell games and con tricks to hold off bankruptcy and fleece this community of everything it has. All the while hiding behind a veil of total secrecy, with the occassional feeble appeasement gesture. OMG!!! A REAL MEMBER OF AMIGA INC WENT TO A SHOW!! AMIGA INC RULE!!! :banana: :banana:
And it's the same people, the very same people, who hysterically greet every AInc announcement like it's from God itself, who are the biggest critics of Genesi. "You a$$hole bbrv!" cries one clueless BAF who knows absolutely nothing about the situation he's commenting on or the people his own purchases support.
Once Amiga Inc. give out hundreds of free boards to the community to entice developers, once they actually pay their debtors even a little of what they're owed, once they make an attempt to contact users, developers and companies
directly rather than through {bleep} "There's something BIG just around the corner! Wait a few more weeks!" claims that waft out every so often from unnamed sources like farts out of a duffelcoat,
then you can compare them to Genesi. Genesi have a long way to go before they sink to AInc's level. A LONG way.
I am getting seriously f*cking sick of the whole affair. My apologies for dragging this whole thread off topic.
