It would be nice if Aladdin 4D was done, over 3000 hours of development have already gone into it. It's not a scam just hard work since it had been neglected for 10 years before it become our problem. In the future before we take over such a large project we will ask to look at major portions of the source-code instead of just a few small examples.
Well, you were told in person that the old Aladdin 4D source code was close to be worthless 7 months before DiscreetFX announced that the acquisition had been finalized. (I still think the trademark has value, though. Not because old Amiga users might recognize it, but simply because it is a good name for a graphics software package. There are not many good names left that are not already owned by other companies these days.)
It was completely obvious that the entire user interface would have to be rewritten from scratch and that the real-time 3D engine as well as the render engine would need be replaced entirely. So, with all due respect, I do not think anybody needed source code access to come to these conclusions, if that is what you were implying.
