It has been my observation that large companies often buy out a competitor and simply shut it down,moving the customers to the dominant product.The louder the buyout team promises to keep things as they are,the more certain the old brand will disappear.I've been through it a half-dozen times with corporations in three different fields.
Apple already has the industry standard publishing,audio, and video programs;with the switch to digital TV ,any advantage the synergy of Amiga custom chips and Amiga OS had for those markets is gone.Without its native video capability Amiga would not have been Toasted,and would have been little different than Atari ST.
I can see nothing good from Apple acquiring Amiga IP.
In an ideal world ,Amiga,Inc. and Hyperion would settle Amicably ,form a fair working partnership,fully license Acube,Elbox,Genesi,and others to produce new classic and updated hardware and software.Wasting years in courts have hurt everybody.
