Who Owns Commodore? The Retro PC Brand Still Exists, but a Lot Has Changed

Taikhoom10

I mean, I wish Commodore was still around, a lot of nostalgia, but what do you expect, when your only differentiation is price, and you do not build a structure around your business that creates customer lock-in in some way, it becomes hard to create sustainable profits and stick around. With Windows and Intel locking down the enterprise, you really had to create some kind of premium brand like Apple did, not focus on the low end.
