Commodore Corporation BV acquisition completed by fan-led consortium — prepare for new retro futurist products with the deal signed, sealed, and paid for ahead of schedule

Christian ‘Peri Fractic’ Simpson has confirmed that his much touted community-led acquisition of Commodore has been signed, sealed, and paid for. The Retro Recipes YouTuber announced the finalizing of the Commodore Corporation BV deal on the streets of the Netherlands this week, flanked by an assortment of Commodore legends of old, under the banner “We did it! Commodore is home!”

In the triumphant video short, Simpson breathlessly addressed his audience, stating that “We just made history. Together, we’ve just signed the final contract and paid in full, ahead of schedule, to complete the acquisition of the whole Commodore Corporation BV, and all 47 original Commodore trademarks, the oldest, dating back to 1983.” Behind him, you can see familiar Commodore stalwarts like David Pleasance, Leo Nigro, and Colin Proudfoot. Actually, there is a clearer view of the Commodore ‘takeover’ team in a Facebook post by Commodore International Corporation (see below).

In his street-filmed mini episode, Simpson continued, “And it all means that Commodore is finally in the hands of those who truly care – the community and the original employees… And now the fun really begins as Commodore reboots, not just as a retro brand with next-gen ideas, but as a digital detox brand, picking up right where we left off in the 90s. Therefore, we will be positioned to free society from toxic tech, and bring joy back to computing – 90s and Y2K style.”
