The YouTube channel "Retro Recipes" presented this new edition to a wider audience six months ago in a very euphoric video. For a company to be founded specifically for this purpose, he himself was to be the managing director and Sean Donohue the head of operations. The video ends with a real cliffhanger: Perifractic from Retro Recipes claims that the reply from the Commodore Corporation does not simply offer him a far-reaching licence, but proposes the sale of the entire company to the YouTube entrepreneur and his partners.
