Do you think anyone has tried to raise capital? Ever heard of angel investors? They are investors who usually invest their own funds for small/startup businesses who have an interest in the business for reasons that go beyond pure monetary return. I don't suppose there would be anyone in that category around or who has already invested in the Amiga. Of course even most angel investors only invest when there is a plan to grow. Quote:

It appears to me that the wish to solve the problems which kept the Amiga from reaching its potential in the 1990'ies produces solutions which have not caught up with the times. The Amiga has become a much more humble platform by now. My impression is that the focus recently shifted towards catering for the hobbyist users. New hardware is available which makes the Amiga more accessible to newcomers, for example. This has become much more of a business than it used to be, say 2-3 years ago. Still, this is not yet a business with respectable returns (as far as I know) which might attract outside investors. Quote:
It used to be that this lack of perspective was not a major issue when Commodore was still new at making Amigas. The void created by the lack of perspective was filled by the 3rd party Amiga developers, creating the software and the hardware which fulfilled the promise of the Amiga makers. At this point I believe we are dealing with a lack of perspective, and the means to fill the void are not a good fit yet. |
