Re: DiscreetFX submits proposal to acquire Amiga Inc. in the

I am not going to say that this is either good news or bad news... though, some things that springs to mind is:

1. While I do know who DiscreetFX are, I didn't realise they were such a big company that they would afford what price I do think Amiga Inc. ever would consider selling for. And, as they claim themselves, they have had this on their 'to-do' list for over a year, almost like if they just haven't had the time to set things up to go through with the purchase... it seems a bit unrealistic to me, especially since they don't even seem to have been in contact with Amiga Inc. concerning this before this proposal was sent out to them, but then again... is it?

2. Why announce this even before they have gotten a response from Amiga Inc.? Now, why, really?

3. Considering Amiga Inc. activity, as of lately, I am having a hard time believing that they would be insterested in selling themselves. Why would they be?

4. "If an agreement can be reached between Amiga Inc. and DiscreetFX the return of Amiga will be amazing." - why would it be amazing? Could it possibly be more diffuse than this?

Now... I am not going to say either this or that concerning the good or bad about this very proposal... but I have no understanding whatsoever for this press release. Seriouly.

Come on guy. This is just a joke. The guys from DiscreteFX only wanted to point out how unimportend AmigaInc. is that someone could just walk in and say "Well I like it. I buy it. I leave the details to my legal department..."


I, too, think this is nothing but a joke... but, since previous things that have sounded even more like a joke have proven true I just don't want to go all the way out claiming it to be a joke. Rather, I just point out the unseriousness and non apparent logic I find in the proposal...   though, I have to add... if it is a joke, I am not laughing.

Ok, then it is official (even though it was so even when posted on AW, but anyways).
