1.  They decided on a future for the Amiga that most users didn't want.

2.  They dropped support for most developers that adopted their Amiga Anywhere/DE platforn.

3.  They took money up front for Amiga One and OS4 through various coupon schemes but failed to live up to their side of the deal.

4.  They manouvered though various companies with the same owners in order to avoid paying former employees and other creditors.

5.  They allowed Amithlon to be licenced only play part in killing it off soon afterwards.

6.  They failed to come to an agreement with the developers of MorphOS resulting in a split in the community.

7.  They lied to us about products and release dates since just about when they started out in 2000.

8.  They have devalued the Amiga brand and driven users and developers away.

9.  They make silly announcement like the Kent Stadium deal and then go into hiding when asked for money.

10.  They failed to make a deal with Andrea Vallinotto to have OS4 available to run on Mac Mini.  Some people blame this on the dispute with Hyperion but...

11.  They managed to do the same thing with Jens Schoenfeld when he tried to licence kickstart 1.3 for use with Clone A.

12.  They bend over for MS and stifle real Amiga Development.

Should KMOS/Amiga Inc go away (please!) the IP actually belongs to Acer who acquired it from Gateway, it was on an exclusive lease to the prior Amiga Inc, (the one that transfered all it's property to KMOS to avoid paying creditors and debts to previous employees and then hijacked KMOS) there is some question as to whether the lease could actually be transferred or not, but since Acer isn't interested that point is moot.


Gateway only retained the patents, the IP belongs to Amiga Inc.
