How does Amiga, Inc. make money?
« on: December 22, 2008, 02:31:59 AM »
...other than trademark lawsuits, of course.  Are they really making anything from licensing agreements or anything of that nature?  Is anyone privy to the state of the company?

Yes, I know, but you can buy Amiga Forever for as little as $9.95.  I cannot imagine that this is more than pocket change for Amiga, Inc. or anyone else.

As far as I can tell, investors give them lots of money, they p*ss it up the wall, and then they get more money from investors, and then they p*ss it up the wall, and then...

They make it really, really simpel: They just print it with the HP Desktjet 800C they have in their office! Haven't you heard that Amiga Inc is actually the reason for the big financial problems in the US of A?

That was joking.

I know of rumours from the past that stated that MicroSoft was actually paying Bill McE. to not release new Amiga hardware / OS. If that rumour is indeed true, it would explain an a lot.
Get a SAM, while you can! The new AMIGA is here!

They sell their incredibly innovative CoolTools. Well if that's not gonna work I guess they beg their investors for more money.

I know of a rumor where Amiga actually has controlling interest in Microsoft.

There are companies that buy others companies for billions dollars and forget it in the bottom of a store only for kill the competition. i.e Palm and BeOS
So it´s not unreasonable to think that microsoft has some sort of agreement in that respect
