I wonder why Amiga Inc would do this?
Is it possible to generate any real revenue from this? Possibly because it is relatively easy to do and a small return is worth the effort?
The nail on the head. If this is an idea from that new guy they hired then it might be a smart idea. Amiga Inc doesn't need to put in any effort at all to release this stuff, and maybe with a tiny little bit of advertising on the right places they might even sell quite a few of these games. Remember there are thousands of people out there who don't want the hassle with old computers or difficult emulators, but as a complete download they might as well want to pay a few bucks for the games they used to love to play.
Amiga plans to expand their Classic offerings to include several hundred titles available by the end of this year
Let's say they sell 20 copies of each of those games (say 300 games), that's 30k, with no effort. Maybe they can use that to actually DO something.
Realistic mode:
Most likely they will do the Irving Gould/Mehdi Ali: "all your revenues are belong to us".
