AmigaOS 4.0 for Classic Amiga available now!!!!!!!!

[ddniUK]

Does anyone here have an awful fear that this is gonna be pirated on day 1, accrue no sales and see Hyperion wash its hands of the Amiga scene forever?

Now I have a BPPC and will buy my copy of os4.0

But,weren't we all Amiga fan boys back in the day? I wager that fandom didn't stop most of us gathering up a few dodgy floppies along the way...

Today, given the number of posts I see about non working WHDload installs (mainly due to pirate keyfiles) My faith in the Amiga community to wholeheartedly support current, active and developing software is limited.

Bear in mind, the tiny number of potential classic PPC customers, means that even a small loss to piracy could mean the difference between a profit or loss situation for Hyperion. That is assuming of course that a profit is even possible given the man years it has taken to get the product out of the door.

MY MESSAGE IS: DON'T PIRATE OS4 CLASSIC

@ Ferry, your assumption is wrong.

My point is that the Amiga community was generally involved in wholesale software piracy.
That activity, kills commercial software production.
What effect a lack of software has on a platform I leave to you to decide...

My feelings are that a lack of profit for small software houses, with increasingly decrepit hardware and intransigent "I want it all on my 512k A500" users crippled the Amiga... It ain't dead yet!
