Christian Simpson, known on YouTube as Peri Fractic, has recently taken the reins at Commodore Corporation after officially gaining control over the brand. In a surprising turn of events, Simpson, who has previously garnered popularity with his retro gaming content, claims to be the new acting CEO of the company.

He announced the acquisition in a video where he discussed the lengthy negotiations with the former owners and revealed some key figures from the old Commodore team who will partake in reviving the brand. The deal is estimated to be valued in the low seven figures, likely not impressive for a company that once dominated the home computer market.

As Simpson indicates, while Commodore has faced financial challenges and ownership changes over the years, he aims to breathe new life into this iconic brand. Notably, he has garnered the support of former Commodore legends including Albert Charpentier, Bill Herd, Michael Tomczyk, and David Pleasance, hinting at a promising project that could honor the legacy of Commodore while innovating for the future.

One intriguing aspect of the deal includes discussions of potential angel investors, with high-profile individuals showing interest, including Elon Musk, who began his own computing journey with Commodore products.

Simpson expresses his vision clearly: he aims to reconnect the brand with its storied past while capitalizing on modern technology trends. The forthcoming plans promise new hardware to come, with hints at innovative product developments on the horizon. This venture could potentially usher in a renaissance for an iconic brand while enthusing fans eager to see Commodore return to form.
