'It's certainly not going to be business as usual because business at the moment is not as we'd like it'—Corsair CEO on its Fanatec acquisition

Earlier this year, we reported on Corsair's plan to acquire Endor AG, owners of the sim racing specialist Fanatec. That looked somewhat less certain after Endor filed for insolvency in July, but the deal went ahead and Fanatec is now part of Corsair.

Andy Paul, Corsair's chief executive officer, made the remark in an interview with The Drive and pointed out that the necessary work to resolve everything was already underway. For example, one common complaint from Fanatec's customers was that support was very limited, such as only being available for eight hours per working day.
