I know we can all nitpick bits and pieces but overall a really good article, one that lays a lot (/all) the blame squarely on Mehdi Ali and Gould.

True, it is innaccurate in detail but the real problem was indeed early 90s businesses trying to go truly global.
My imagination points out this as a reasonable representation of the suit mentality American businesses at the time (NSFW, it's Run the Jewels - "Nobody Speak). The actors even RESEMBLE Ali and Gould.

America was having none of it, the A600 wasn't a budget Amiga, it was a ripoff Amiga. Putting out CDTV without WB 2.0 was equally, a leach move designed to bleed owners of Commodore computers with built in upgrade necessity. That's just two examples. Notice the guy waving the flag at the end? At the time when Bush Senior was talking "New World Order". And he meant it. There were some great people around, but the leaders were incompetent. Parkinson's law and effect were plain to see.
The Amiga was great, Commodore US corporate and most other nationality's corporate were %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!s. That sums it up.
