As usual a sad state of affairs in the Amiga World. So par for the course..
Well, I don't know. Most of the companies involved have gone to great lengths to avoid lawsuits causing damage to each other.
What A-Eon has (allegedly) let Hyperion away with would chill your blood. But Trevor doesn't want to kill them. He could, if he simply told the Belgian authorities he wanted to call in his debt - instant bankruptcy. But he doesn't.
And then there's Cloanto, who are somehow being projected as the villain of this piece. They did not sue when Hyperion sold rights Cloanto owned to Manomio, which subsequently was responsible for the loss of that company. They threatened, they complained, but they didn't sue.
Even Amiga Inc/Amino, long everyone's least favourite money laundering outfit, have finally sold off the Amiga IP - at least in theory. And not even for the ridiculous sums they demanded earlier on, one would assume.
Hyperion being the obvious exception in this. They've pretty much done bad things to everyone.
