I agree, let's start a thread titled "Pirates of Hyperion's last chance to make a profit". :lol:
It is quite a dilemma for those of us who want to do the right thing and would gladly pay for AOS4 if we had something we could run it on, knowing that someone out there right now is probably successfully running AOS4 on their MacMini, or other PPC Mac. There does not appear to be any end in site for the lawsuit(s) and even if there were it is unclear if either party that may win will ever release the code to allow AOS4 to run on PPC Macs, and for many reasons. Some selfish and narrow minded and other reasons that are legal in nature and very complicated.
I think that the only way we will have AOS4 running on OUR PPC Macs, will be to have a group of very talented programmers reverse engineer the code that was leaked illegally, and create our own patch code that will allow us to run the only currently available version of AOS4, the version for Classic Amigas.
Unfortunately, the above solution is highly unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future either.
So, for me anyway, being unable to contribute to such a task, I will just sit back with my popcorn and wait for the lawsuit(s) to conclude in 2 or 3 years and then wait another 3 or 4 years for either winning party to do anything of significance, by which time I probably won't give a damn. :madashell:
