The person at Commodore who didn't have a plan for the future of computing was Irving Gould. He didn't use computers and wanted to extract as much value as possible into his own bank account. His henchman who executed it was Mehdi Ali. They cut research and engineering to save money, ensuring anything in the labs would never make it to market in time to be competitive. They fired Thomas Rattigan, the man who got the Amiga 500 and Amiga 2000 projects going. The Amiga 500 sold more units than the other Amiga models combined and kept the company going long enough to release the A3000 and A1200/4000 before it bankrupted. The only person who got what they wanted was Irving Gould. He got to die with a few more millions in his bank account.
