Why not release OS4 for BPPC and CPPC

[humppa]

I have two links for you where Rogue explained why they don't want to release OS4 for BPPC and CPPC at the current point:

Link 1
Link 2

In a nutshell:

The effort *right now* (before someone gets the idea again the classic version is cancelled) is too high, and the expected return makes it questionable.

The reason that "the expected return makes it questionable" is ridiculous. Why did they start it at all in the first place?

Coding 5 years, investing 500.000 EUR and at the point when OS4 is nearly finished they realize, "err..., it's just 600 potential buyers out there, oh, better not release it then, let's better wait until the magic & myterious Amy-board get's released which around 800 people will buy. This will completely change the whole situation and make our 500.000 EUR investment really rewarding.  :roll:

I'm unaware that OS4 for classic has been officially scraped? Is there a link from Hyperion that states they have officially ceased all further development and beta testing for the classic?

Doh! Did you actually at least try to read Rogue's statement that I quoted above? What part of "(before someone gets the idea again the classic version is cancelled)" don't you understand?
