Deadmau5 gör datorer

Datortillverkaren Maingear meddelade idag att de kommer att jobba med Joel ”Deadmau5” Zimmerman. Herr Deadmau5 kommer att fungera som rådgivare och investerare.

Deadmau5 kommer även att tillsammans med Netcapital ge allmänheten möjlighet att investera i Maingear. Deadmau5 är en gamer, eller det är i alla fall den uppdfattningen vi fick när vi pratade med honom på Twitchcon för tre år sedan. Han hade i alla fall lagt en stor summa på att få snabbt internet i sitt hus en bra bit utanför bebyggelsen.

”I first found Maingear when looking for a high end PC for my studio, and started as a customer first. I became a huge fan” sade Deadmau5. ”Since then Maingear has powered all of my projects including, my recently released Where’s the Drop?. As a gamer at heart I’m a big believer that the future of PC gaming and eSports has amazing potential for growth. It was obvious to pick Maingear as my first investment in the space and with Maingear’s crowd raise you can invest as well.”

Det här innebär säkert att det kommer att komma Deadmau5-datorer någon gång i framtiden. Och att Deadmau5 kommer att vara mer frekvent besökare på spelevenemang som PAX framöver. Jag fick Googla honom på Twitchcon, men kände igen honom från Gumball – inte från att han lirar musik med någon form av Musse Pigg på skallen.

Här är Deadmau5 i ett nötskal
