I think you're spot on. What was needed was for one of the various owners to say, "Right that is it Amiga is dead, no more. No licences, no IP sales. It's over, go out there and enjoy the sunshine"
Perhaps then everyone would have stopped waiting about for the next miracle and would have taken control over the platform themselves. There probably would have been splits and wars (there always is) but it probably would not have been as bad as what has been endured. Something like AROS would have flourished in such an environment.
I still think that there was enough momentum and market back in the late 90's (even as late as 2000 possibly) for there to be a sustainable platform. All that was needed was a little focus.

Is there anyone else left though? If feels sometimes that the biggest proportion of the community are complete saddos. :-(
