In January 2013, it was revealed that founder and driving force Barry S. Altman died of cancer on December 8, 2012.

[7] The last post on Commodore USA's forum came from Leo Nigro (Chief Technical Officer) on the 9th of December concerning the Amiga line.

The revamped Vic product line[12][13] is a group of keyboard computers with original Commodore function keys.

[14] The Vic Pro was a keyboard computer that also contained a built-in touchpad, memory card reader, and two fans.

[20] Commodore USA consistently focused[21] on bundling an alternate operating system, preferring Linux.

It previously claimed that their machines support every operating system available from Ubuntu specifically, to Windows and even OSx86,[22] but disclaiming that they do not and will not sell Mac OS X. Commodore USA's online store sold Microsoft Windows separately and bundled Linux in their keyboard computers.

Later, Commodore USA announced that they would officially support, develop, and ship their computers with AROS,[23] but shifted their focus on redesigning Linux as Amiga Workbench 5, and Amiga Workbench X, but decided to name it Commodore OS and dropped all plans of making it resemble an Amiga-like operating system due to additional legal proceedings.

The molds and existing stock for the Commodore C64x were sold to My Retro Computer Ltd in the UK [28] who continue to sell units in a variety of colors and up to date configurations.

Commodore USA originally intended to develop an AROS to be bundled with their Amiga systems,[43] however this plan was later publicly discarded by CEO Barry Altman.
