"It saddens me greatly to announce that, effective today, any of my Amiga-related software development has been mothballed indefinitely. This means that, pending any unexpected developments, there won't be any "Amithlon v2" (aka "Berniethlon"), nor any further support or add ons for "Amithlon v1" by me."

"Berniethlon" - The End : Comment 136 of 221 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kelly Samel on 02-Dec-2002 07:04 GMT | As a side note I just want to say that Bernie
obviously has been trying hard to get this
product released but the only approach he
has not taken is to ask the community of
Amithlon and Amiga users what direction THEY
would like Amithlon to take. I think in a
small community like the Amiga the users
need to take control away from companies that
do not support the needs and wants of the
small dedicated user base. The people have
the power in the end and we can make things
happen what is Haage or Amiga Inc going to
do? Arrest us all? Let them try... If they
are allowed to bully the market we may
never see products like OS4 who knows when
somebody claims ip violation on that product
and starts another debacle. This kind of
dispute really needs to be ended, it's time
for Amiga Inc. Haage etc. to swallow their
pride and do what is right for us, the
users; and forget about their own agenda that
harms themselves and their customers on all
fronts. No one will want to be involved
with them in any market or product in the
future again. I hope this doesn't come off
as sounding too negative but I consider this
a very important issue and can't understand
why these people can't even work together
on 1 single product's development and release
for the real Amiga users and fans that are
anxiously awaiting some new products to use.
I will personally continue to support the
Amiga market with new software for as long
as I am an Amiga user
(which may well be indefinately) If legal
action is threatened or a company rips you off
somehow just upload the program 100% free and
move on to the next project, support the users
not the companies involved and be happy that
people are enjoying your work. This is about
more than just Amithlon, it's about the entire
state of the market where the original authors
are being cheated everyday. Find the good honest
companies and individuals in the market and
support them all the way. It IS enough to
know that you are doing the right thing in spite
of what some overbloated company may say... |
