Hyperion bankrupt?

[Duce]

It's over. They are not bankrupt. Info here: " http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic_id=39913&forum=14&start=1300&viewmode=flat&order=0 "

LOL.  A contract coder slash aspiring blues guitar player not even giving a URL or source is not confirmation of anything, and with all due respect, if I was his employer, I'd ask him to do his job coding versus running the PR gamut and voicing his opinions, which comes off entirely as a public statement from Hyperion / the other parties with involved interests in OS4 (A-EON/Amigakit).  Sheer hackery.  Really, don't let the guy coding the paint program run defense on a public basis, even if it's his own doing.  I'd fire people for less in such a similar controversial situation.

Seen a lot of hysterical things, but this does take the cake - and being a reasonably happy bought and paid for user of OS4, I've got vested stakes in this as well.  I'd like to see a future version of OS4, but reading "breaking news" from a third party contract coder with no source and not the company itself is beyond unprofessional.

Just when you thought you seen it all.  Just awful.

But for how long? :banana::banana::banana:

The above link means nothing to me without the context of what "normal" means in the least in terms of legality and standing.

Nothing at all.

i just updated intuitionbase.com with the following news blurb:

                  Posting on the AOS4 beta tester mailing list, Hyperion  legal director Ben Hermans has confirmed that the default judgement  against the company was overturned on April 2nd. "This entails that in  the eyes of the law the bankruptcy never took place and Hyperion  Entertainment CVBA was never in a state of bankruptcy," said Hermans.  This ends weeks of speculation over the commercial fate of the developer  of the Amiga operating system. The development of AOS4 never halted  during this period.

so there you have it from the horse's mouth. i don't know if hyperion intends to release a statement or comment further, but the judgement was overturned. back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I can hear the crying from the folks that wished it were true all the way over here.

All the way over in California?  I always thought of California as another country, since it is totally unlike the rest of the USA.

Quite right my friend. Getting so bad would like to get out of it. That coming from an 8th generation Californian!

LOL Soooo true, this part of the world hasn't been the same since the europeons got here.

If the bankruptcy is indeed overturned it does not mean it's not real. Most of you are looking at this either very pessimistically or very optimistically. The more realistic take-away from this experience is that Hyperion Entertainment CVBA is not in a stable financial situation.

Even in Belgium, if a company is doing OK financially they never need to go through the bankruptcy court. It's not a joke, it's not a right of passage. What this should have revealed to most of you is that the money just isn't coming in to make for a sustainable Hyperion. They may have got out of this one, but how soon before the next one? And what does this mean for continued funding for OS 4.2 and beyond?

[QuikSanz]

It's as real as accounts payable not checking the mail!

Great news! Now we can stop worry about that and look forward to the next release!

[yssing]

That is good news.

I guess it's a good thing HE isn't bankrupt anymore, but I'm still worried. Remember all the years the dev team told people Warp3D is dead and Gullium is coming with the upcoming 4.2. Now, A-Eon is paying to port Warp3D to the HD cards (kudos to that!). THAT can't be a good sign.

Not to piss on anyones parade here, but maybe the state of 4.2 is a lot worse that people think.

I doubt it. Warp3D was ordered long ago.
