Hello
we are changing the prices for the game jam to focus better on the community expectations: winners will also get games for c64/amiga from the psytronik catalog! https://psytronik.itch.io/ |

Owning a company in China is also a complex matter: you buy assembly lines whitin an existing factory... there are lot of administrative aspect and all this is OOT: Commodore Engineering is just proposing a jam for the community here, supported by commodorians like Allister Brimble... this is the first jam and something need to be retuned (we took away the android games from prices and propose c64/amiga games instead).. there is nothing bad here, and Commodore is not interested in making money by rebranding stuff or reselling licenses: 90% of all the tablets have been delivered in B2B market for universities and charity activities... I understand people are skeptical because the late history of the brand, but this is not relate to the Jam, and you can check in the FB page what Commodore Engineering is doing as concrete activities (a new magazine is coming, the games under development will be ported in linux in teh near future, and new hardware will be announced...) |

Well, at least you've found the actual Amiga community now after pushing this game jam on an Atari forum for the past month I would also suggest promoting it in the main Commodore Amiga Facebook group, though I suspect the reception there will be similar.

So you definitively DO NOT OWN that factory, because otherwise you would be able to control the whatever "aftermarket" or "resell" "We do own a factory in China", was a big fat lie! I do not believe you for a second, that you "designed" this tablet either. You probably do not even know, what that means from the standpoint of electrical engineering and manufacturing. You may have given a wishlist with some specs to some company in China ... that is not what we here regard as hardware design! And if you really did: it is the most generic, boring, lame, low entry level Android tablet I've seen for along time. If you goal was to produce something totally unremarkable you can also get from everyone else (cheaper and better) - you succeeded. Quote:
The branding looks like a simple white sticker by the way - and is totally oversized and badly centered on the device - even the brand design looks amateurish at best. Quote:

And so far in response to simple questions you've produced only very sketchy and dubious replies. This latest one is no different and is only digging that hole even deeper. You really want me to believe that in 5 months between that failed Kickstarter in Nov 2021 and now (Apr 2022) you managed to design a completely new tablet, which then got copied by the Chinese vendors? Please. And even if this tall tale was actually true, it'd only prove that you should stay far away from any sort of hardware manufacturing, since it's all totally clueless. I might be wrong, of course, and we'll see a glorious Commodore revival soon, but tbh there's so many red flags here that it makes my head hurt...and I'm a bit tired of watching similar trainwrecks all around the retro scene. You're welcome to prove me wrong, but for now I'll leave that topic be, it's just too irritating. Let's see where you're at in a few months. |

"I own something in China" is really just shorthand for "the CCP is allowing me to use something in China". The best way to control "aftermarket" for things made in China is to not make them in China to begin with.
