Considering how much they have to pay and how much profit they could have made with around 1000 OS4 sales, I don't think you have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. If AInc would have let Hyperion release OS4 to other hardware (e.g. Pegasos, MacMini, etc.) when Eyetech stopped producing A1's, Hyperion would have been able to pay those developers in full by now. |
Either you have no knowledge of mathematics or you are being silly. The A1 was for sale until June of 2005, in the over 2.5 years the various models were available, they sold 1000 units according to you, which generated at most 100,000 for Hyperion. To pay the 750,000 they owe the Friedens, they have to give them every dime of the sales for 7,500 units, throw in the rest of the at least 250K they owe on the OS, and we have another 2,500 units they need to sell. So just to pay developers, they have to have sold 10K units in the last 2 years after the Amiga Ones dryed up, which is 10x more then they sold in the 2.5 years before that, really think they only reason they didnt sell 10,000 units in the last two years is because AInc didnt let them port to Pegasos (which they really werent interested in) or the MacMini (which they were even less interested in)? And thats if they get $100 per copy of OS 4, as we lower that amount, it gets even worse.
