Commodore trademark has a new daddy

This is an absolute disaster for the community.

The C64x, the most ambitious of all Commodore USA products, is to put it bluntly the bare minimum. The keyboard has no PETSCII decals, is less contoured than the original, there is no way to use ANY C64 related peripherals under emulation (be it real 9 pin joysticks or 1541 replacement SD drives), does not come with a decent OS and is so over priced it makes Alienware PCs look cheap.

Leave it.

So that's a big annoucement for them? ....ooooo...kaayy...  Now what?

A company selling fake 64s and planning to build fake Amigas buying the rights from a company doing absolutely nothing...  Wow! bright future ahead...

/end of huuuuuge sarcasm

They own the name, isn't that bad enough? Of all people to end up owning the rights to Commodore it is the one who's flagship product doesn't even have the foresight to come with 9pin to USB port adaptors or come with a single D64/TAP file or anything and a rubbish keyboard with no PETSCII graphics for the princely sum of just under $2000 for a $500 PC of the same CPU power?

We got screwed again

From the man who illegally put C= logo stickers on rubbish Chinese PC in a keyboard machines 'just to clarify who does own the copyright' I am pretty sure he is doing this to see if anyone rears their ugly head and claims the copyright. We all know what a minefield this whole thing is.

As stated the boing ball is not a registered trademark except maybe to the original programmers from 1984/85 who created it who were not owned by Commodore then. The tick was on the original A1000 so maybe. I don't know. I'm guessing it's all more of Barry's mind games/pathetic tactics.

Even if it was true you can't stop other people using existing casings out there to make them into entirely new/different architecture machines, even as a basis for a business anyway
