Fixing problems Commodore had "no hand in creating, nor the ability to diagnose... isn't sustainable," the company warns.

I sort of understand the appeal of retro computing, but I can't comprehend why anyone would buy an official $300 fpga reproduction with the hopes of modifying it. At that point it isn't retro, it isn't computing much of anything, it's not a crafts project and you're at the whims of the company for what you can do with it
