Title: Are Tulip crazy?
Post by: GadgetMaster on July 12, 2003, 05:34:04 PM: Quote from Tulip website:

Quote
Ironstone and Tulip invite the Commodore community to join the official Commodore C64 web-portal. Currently there are about 300 commercial websites that use the name Commodore or Commodore 64 without having a license from Tulip. Tulip will not allow unauthorised use of the Commodore brand.

Yes Tulip , it makes perfect business sense to try and sue the very people you are trying to sell to, the commodore users/community.

They call this a retro revival?

I call it commercial suicide. :-o

Post by: Tomas on July 12, 2003, 09:41:39 PM: What are the plans anyways? To start selling/developing games/apps for the c64? then yeah!! they are fuc*ing crazy :-)

But if the plans are to port c64 games over to for example pcs, pdas, phones and such.. then i dont think they are that crazy. C64 had alot of great games which im sure many would like to play again today.

Post by: CodeSmith on July 12, 2003, 09:59:28 PM: They don't have the rights to the games as such - those would reside with atari, activision, ea, etc... What it seems to mey they are going to do is sell wintel PCs labelled "commodore 64", possibly with a bundled emulator to justify the name.

Then they'll shut down every emulator site and end up just like commodore... :-x

Then the emulator sites will spring up again :-D

Big tnx to tulip for not giving the community anything.
