I'm more into modern gaming now (Xbox, PS) and on the digital side of things. I love the perfect pixels on our modern displays.
As much as I think it's great to see more Atari physical products, to me it seems like they are all one-offs. "We'll get to that <feature, game, legacy console, etc> next time!" Like many, I don't have much physical space to "collect them all" as much I'd like to.
For digital, I wonder why Atari doesn't create an all-in-one that could be updated over time should you acquire more gaming rights in the future. The thing is, you have this with Atari 50, a fantastic app with all generations of legacy Atari. Let's say XBOX finally gets ActiBlizzion done, Atari gets into talks and now Activision games can be made available for it. You could release an update for Atari 50 to plug in the holes in the timeline, maybe offer the Activision pack DLC for $9.99 or something feasible. Atari 50 now starts to become the all-in-one. Later down the line, Atari 8bit/PC side of things comes along, other IPs/licenses secured, update/DLC, etc, etc. Over time, you have a digital museum of all things Atari checking off the preservation box and one modern place to play.
If Atari can't do this with Atari 50, maybe a new app then similar to Sega Genesis Classics or XBOX 360's Game Room. The hub being a retro game room that you can customize. New games being offered over time and can be added to your library. Imagine some of the homebrew games on AA being offered in this new application. I don't have to worry about modding, digging out old consoles, just launch the app on my XBOX/PS/PC, see the new games available, buy/download/play in glorious 4K.
Having access to someone at Atari is great and this merger I feel will lead to new possibilities, but as with many things, being cautious is always good. The amount of ideas on this forum is second to none, hopefully they can be realized. Al has been a champion of this since the get-go.
