"What I was replying to and calling completely made-up nonsense is your claim that Hyperion would stand in the way of legal sites like now-defunct Amiga games website Back2roots appearing again, which had legal permission from the software companies to distribute Amiga games."
They would, of course - if they were in Cloanto's position and had any vested interests in said sites. Because they're an ego-driven, self-interested, cynical, money grabbing, unethical bunch of shitheads who care nothing about the community as long as they can get money. And everyone knows this from Hyperion's track record, your rather anaemic denialism notwithstanding. Nothing is safe, not even GPL. Not even work done for free, apparently.
If they're happy to sell IP they didn't own to companies like Manomio which destroyed the chances of retro games coming back, they would be happy to stab the community in the back over sites like these, if they got their grubby little paws on it. Cloanto are much safer hands.
