| The article mentions Wings included in the bundle, but that seems inaccurate unless they bought the library of these folks as well?

More interesting article given that some "chapters" were added, like....
"What about Amiga, Inc.?" and "Why the confusion?"
L.A. company picks up Amiga Games Inc. for $500,000

Anyone every heard of this AGI that was bought out? Hope Writer's Group closely checked all those distributor licenses before signing over that $500K.

The "story" has now gathered more attention from "journalists".
I'm laughing too hard to post all the links and statements really, so I'll just have to give you the best way to find this stuff and let you carry on.
news search for Amiga Games
or
News search for writer's group film corp
gut still splitting with laughter as I sign off...

| As mentioned in another thread, the Domain AmigaGamesInc.com is registered under William McEwan, is Bill McEwan still with AmigaInc?
The Company AmigaGamesInc was only incorperated in June 2013.
My example I mention was about Vulcan Software, they made a partnership to allow distribution of there games via AmigaInc shop under-emulation for the PC, the AmigaInc Shop disappeared. Then AmigaInc announced the same games are to be released on Blackberry Appstore via again emulation.
$500.000 is alot of money just for distribution, I seem to think the Writers Group think they have IP rights too, which in many cases are impossible.

Wall Street Journal too.
But the priceless ones are from the stock analysts.
It's on a lot of watch lists you know.

I see references in the reports of "vague" when questions were put forth to either party.

Intersting to read commentary on Amiga news from non-Amiga-centric forums.
Clearly the brand still has marketability, however the commens relating to screen size, joystick use (or adaptation) and use of emulation instead are all very valid.
Big lol regarding the confusion over what has actually been bought, let alone whether any of the 'rights' are exclusive.
