The trouble with any explaination is that we lack essential facts needed to make informed judgement and since Amiga is a private company, there is no reason why Amiga Inc would change that.
Even a private company needs to worry about its public reputation and the opinion of its potential customers.

Meanwhile we have somebody who does have insider info, that has an established reputation within the community who has given an opinon. Admittably that opinion is not without bias, but I don't think it should be ignored.
I'm not ignoring it. I'm making sure Jamie knows why we would find that opinion hard to believe easily. I encourage him to elaborate on his point. If we really have the wrong impression about a person or company I certainly would want it corrected. Amiga and its employees need to realize though that they collectively have dug quite a hole for themselves so far. So in order to turn around public opinion they will need to put some real effort into it and give us some really honest answers. This "Please see the answer to question 4" and "NDA, NDA, NDA" stuff no longer cuts it. Plenty of firms share screenshots of upcoming work, have developer blogs, etc.
