So is there any connection with the original commodore company at all or is this just a case of “rich kid gets his hands on an old long dead IP for milking”?
Well, Perrifractic has no connection to the original Commodore in the sense of having worked there (he was a child in the heyday of the C64 and Amiga), but he isn't just some random person trying to cash in - he's a long time Youtuber focusing on Commodore and other 1980s computers and his enthusiasm is genuine.
