The Downward Spiral of Amiga Incorporated

[mikeymike]

To the people who are claiming that this is a pro-Genesi biassed article, would you like to point out just how it is being biassed?

I am not "pro-Genesi".  I have nothing to do with Genesi and little or nothing to say about their products, however I don't see anything biassed about this article.  An article about Amiga Inc's misfortunes up to the present does not mean a biassed article.  As someone else on this thread "Amiga Inc is not your church".

Something else - if things continue as bleakly as they have for Amiga Inc recently, you should expect to read about them elsewhere on non-Amiga news sites.  Will they all be "biassed towards Genesi" as well?  Or is it just that we're interested in the Amiga's future, so therefore we must have an angle with this article?

Furthermore, the people who consider this article biassed - how would you say things are at the moment?  If you wish to do a writeup of your take on Amiga Inc's present situation I'd be more than willing to read it.

@ KennyR

Aren't you annoyed by the people who keep saying Elvis is alive even though it's obvious he's dead?

Presumably it's your job to tell them they're wrong?  There are countless loonies on the Internet KennyR, but to argue with them as fervently as they do will only get you counted among them on the loony scale.

@ everyone

I'm not implying that those who disagree with this article are loonies.  They're not.

As for lack of moderation on this thread, everyone knew it would be a "hot topic" in more ways than one.  To try and actively moderate it would result in a virtually entirely obliterated comments board, and then people would be pointing fingers that some comments got moderated when they shouldn't and vice versa.  For every comment moderated there would probably be five comments just as bad and worse to replace it.

So, the only way I'm likely to moderate this thread will probably result in less than ten comments in total on it by this evening.

@ Redentor5

Is there any 'negative news about Genesi' you think we've missed?

[mikeymike]

Here's what I don't understand. Amiga Inc has apparently been without offices, without money to pay employees and in severe debt for months and months, yet they still somehow exist.

There's something you don't understand so therefore everyone must be lying.

Companies don't just disappear in a puff of smoke once they go into the red (talking about accounts here, not red/blue troll status! :-)).

Instead of claiming that it can't be true, why not put up some evidence to show that?  Of course the flipside of that is that one should not believe everything one reads, and I don't take this article for gospel either, but considering all the other evidence I have come across (which is available to everyone else as much as it is me), it doesn't conflict.
