optimistic prediction
Money is probably lost, but justice is yet to come.
Levy lost this chess play.
Mr. Andrews and Mr. Smith could fix it, because TheC64 Mini is selling well (relatively big success at USA and Canada market); Retro Games LTD retains IPs and good relations with many IP holders.
They did it once already - although Levy spent hundred thousands RCL quids to stop them.
What is the problem? That is exactly the sum missing to fulfill backers of Vega+ - to remade and produce new Vega+ edition of much better quality.
RGL still needs to close their own missing "big" model of TheC64, promised to their own backers. But as they announce it recently, it seems that it is already in production, so it could came for Black Friday (and plenty of cash with).
So it could be light at the end of tunnel for ZXspecimens.
