Completely agreed it is both 1&2. I have been following this whole sordid ordeal before Writer's Group got involved and before Amiga Games Inc ever existed. This started directly under the umbrella of Amiga Inc, which is another sordid tale. Back when it was under Amiga Inc they were advertising the same games for Blackberry and even got some lip service from RIM themselves. That lip service didn't impress most in the "Amiga Community". Bill McEwen (CEO for Amiga Inc) has some ancient ties to some currently in RIM, due to RIM acquiring QNX.
Even back then while Bill McEwen (aka McBill) was touting these games for Blackberry under the Amiga Inc umbrella, and was even selling some, many in the "Amiga Community" were questioning the legality of them distributing the games. You pointed out a couple examples, but there are many more. A lot of the games were published by companies long defunct, making it nearly impossible to secure rights.
To make things worse, besides emulation, all of the games need a kickstart image (think BIOS on a PC) and some need the actual OS. Amiga Inc lost most of not all right to AmigaOS to a company called Hyperion Entertainment. It also appears they lost the right to the Kickstart ROMs, whom Hyperion and Cloanto hold the rights.
What most likely happened is Amiga Inc started to get C&D letters for illegally distributing the games, which I'm sure was expected, but created enough hype to come to a deal with a Pink Sheet company to roll the effort into a new entity called Amiga Games Inc and sell it off. McBill got a $500k payday and a stinkie pinkie got good HYPE to sell shares to uneducated OTC investors. Everyone makes out like a bandit, except the shareholders who are down 90% and counting since the purchase of Amiga Games inc.
