If the Commodore brand had such good ranking, why have half a dozen bigger companies (Escom, Tulip etc.) failed over the last 15 years? Plus they were actually released in the 90s/early 00s when people still remembered Commodore as a brand. Even closer to now, the Commodore Gaming PC rigs of 2007-2009 also failed. Did he not use this very valuable research? I'm sure the brand is still recognised, but past experience shows people regard it as an old brand from a different era, and are not interested in owning a Commodore these days.
Bananarama are still a recognised band name, but their albums in the 00s flopped. Recognition and desire to buy are very different.
Many, many reasons why the other attempts failed: lack of funding, poor planning, misguided execution, market conditions, and most importantly, they were not me, and didn't have Leo.
I understand the uber-fans feelings. I really do. What I can't wrap my head around is the extreme insanity that is verbally expressed here over this adventure. Why do they really give a rat's ass about CUSA? Why? We are doing nothing from stopping them in their current activities. Nothing at all. You are all free to buy, not buy,laugh, cry, bemoan...all you want. It has no bearing on me or my company, nor do my efforts effect anyone one of you personally. Get help...get on meds...get a life. We are not claiming to have found the cure for cancer. We are not releasing the meaning of life or world peace. We are a business, having fun. Period. If it works, great...if not. so what? No skin in the game on your part. Not any of you will suffer one iota if this attempt falls flat on it's face. At the least, there will be great cases for you to insert your antique dreams and m/b's into. Have fun..enjoy the show..and for God's sake...lighten up!!
