Amiga: a history of failures and questionable ethics.

https://sites.google.com/site/amigadocuments/

Amiga Games Inc as a company and the sale to Writer's group is highly questionable IMO. Amiga Games Inc seemed to be created out of the thin air by Bill McEwen and there is no concrete evidence that he ever got any licenses to the games in question. Additionally, it would appear that Amiga Inc lost the right to Amiga kickstart roms to Hyperion in 2009, so they would be unable to sell such assets to Writer's group.

While Amiga Delaware and Hyperion settled [138] their AmigaOS 4-related dispute at the end of 2009, the issues raised [137][139][175][212][211][210] by Hyperion remain a source of references for possible future legal actions. Some of the allegations include [214]:

The transfers from Amiga Washington from Amiga Delaware were fraudulent, meant among others to defraud the creditors of Amiga Washington
The two companies were run by the same "insiders", who knew that Amiga Washington was insolvent
A crucial claimed security agreement had not been registered with the Washington Department of Licensing

Section 1.2-1.4 may be of little interest to you, but the rest should be eye opening. Especially pay attention to the shell games, lawsuits and the section about Bill mcEwen himself.

All IMO.

-Edit-
Some here have doubted Bill McEwen's involvement for some strange reason, so maybe this link will help.
