@Hans Well, this model works better than AmigaOS4, which by the way also works with artists, if it were only commercial, AmigaOS4 would not continue to exist, because commercial systems like Windows or MacOS include browsers, etc.
@geennaam Remember the graphics drivers for Sam460ex, Iit stung me, paying 30 euros for some drivers that were only valid for using the DVI port instead of the VGA, and then the Warp 3D drivers appeared, and the people who paid for the first ones were not entitled to a discount, when part of those drivers would use paid code with the first DVI drivers. After well, ciao Sams...

Hyperion's vibe is more like "it's mine, this belongs to me!" Not surprising given that it's main owner/director is a patent attorney by trade. And there's now a tug of war over who owns what, including the AmigaOS trademark...
I wish they'd be more customer focused, because a business' reason for being is to serve their customers. It's the customers who pay the bills that allow a business to continue doing what it does. Of course, you need to be good to everyone: your employees, suppliers, contractors, etc.
@Hans I think Hyperion's commercial drift in recent years is more along the lines of considering the AmigaOS4 its feudal kingdom, where people have to pay taxes in exchange for selling the same thing over and over again. This can work for the big ones but for such a small market it is lethal.
