"Hyperion and Cloanto allegedly close to finalizing settlement"

[Tygre]

Hi all!

Finally, the end is in sight?

"Business representatives of Hyperion, Cloanto, and C-A Acquisitions, Inc. have been engaged in several days of intensive face-to-face settlement discussions in Europe geared toward a global resolution of all claims [...]. Hyperion, Cloanto, and C-A Acquisitions, Inc. are finalizing changes to a negotiated term sheet, which they anticipate will soon be executed."

One more week!

Cheers!

It would be most welcome to have this nonsense resolved.

Yeah until the NEXT round of AmigaLand stupidity begins...
No end to the drama and ridiculousness that IS our AmigaLand... 
Pretty close to the ONLY thing that has remained a constant with the Amiga right from day one back in the Commodore days.  The only thing that has changed are the names...

<smh>

One more week!

So just hot air as usual.
How utterly unsurprising, tit-to-tit talks with Hyperion never worked for anyone before either.

Settlement discussions between Cloanto and Hyperion aborted

Wow, big surprise

At this rate Morphos will be the next true NG amiga os. Well done to both parties for screwing what little is left in AMiga OS.

Soon enough it will be time for Hyperion to play the "bankrupt, but not bankrupt" game again, this time in the Netherlands. There are some good reasons to move to the Netherlands, for example some Caribbean islands outside of European juristictions... Belgium does not have such.

Oh, for f***’s sake! What the hell are either of them going to gain by backing out of talks?

They’ve probably blown through well over 5 years’ worth of revenue on lawyers’ fees at this point.

They’re fighting over CRUMBS! If they would stop this idiocy they might at least get a sandwich now and then.

I guess amiga.com will be forever stuck on " Do you remember when Amiga meant friend? We do. "

Because they're all a bunch of knuckleheads......both sides! Cloanto and Hyperion should do the Amiga community a service and pass on their IP's to someone who can actually get the job done, and then leave and go do something else......perhaps some real work like looking after a farm, milking cows and driving tractors.

Right. When reporting a robbery, it’s important to be fair and balanced and blame both sides equally.

Knuckleheads.

Knuckleheads.

And which of the inanely litigious companies do you think should not be blamed for this mess?

No one is benefitting from this. Not either of them, not other developers, not customers. No one.
