And besides, if it's fake, why would Hyperion threaten with legal actions?

Either way i dont see how people can take them seriously. Even the stolen images arent scaled properly, so how can anyone expect them to pull this off when they cant even design a simple website.

I would never ever buy anything from a company that looks so unprofessional even if it wasnt a hoax.

IWin had certain details revealing it was a fake.

For example? I mean, a *lot* of people (inc some Amiga magazines IIRC) were convinced they were for real at the time, and they managed to string people along for quite a while. As I recall, the hints that it was a fake took time (and occasionally some actual journalistic investigation) to accumulate.

Maybe this is a "certain detail"? Quote:

Because if someone *acts* as if they own something of yours, you *have* to treat them seriously, or you may well end up loosing it anyway, whether they are for real or not. Trademarks are lost if you don't defend them. Plus some people like to try things on, and see if they can get away with it (and if they did then maybe they'd try selling their "rights" to the name later!).
