So? So maybe the Amiga was the greatest thing ever and it failed. Happens all the time. Without Commodore, the Amiga might have failed a lot faster. Or it might have just been chips in an Atari crap computer. Or maybe just a bunch of patents no one cares about.
But according to your logic, Jay Miner should have given the design away for free. That would have been the noble thing to do. And then we would have had 10 Amiga users alltogether instead.
You can do business with ethic and moral ! And you will have much better sales and results in the long term...
For example, near all games softwares were very very expansive back in the days : editors want destroying the Amiga with VERY high prices in France... Personnally, I could not buy, cost too much money, and all my Amiga friends cannot too...
Hopefully, piracy and XCopy (a reaction) coming, and save the Amiga : software is the food of the machine...
High software prices = unhappy users = a lot of piracy = few software sales = few hardware sales = death of the machine...
With low software prices (moral & ethic) = happy users = much less piracy = more software sales = more hardware sales = the machine lives...
Anyways, think what you want, I say the Thruth and you perfectly know that : there was (and is) a lot of parasites in the Amiga community who sink our computer...
