pacman000 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) "Lifestyle brand marketing uses market research to segment target markets based on psychographics rather than demographics." That explains a lot, really. Atari SA's providing no demos, & are completely psycho*. *Not a medical opinion.

toiletunes Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Their stock is constantly going up, if you look at a psychograph... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Well, if they want to know about us as what we do besides demographics, most of us here have taken up a hobby as Haters of "Nutari" since the psychos there are pushing a box that -still- has nothing inside it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodoreCEO Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 It's been about a year and so far I haven't seen anyone wearing an asshat... err Speakerhat™® out in public. Has anyone else? I'd guess anyone with lots of cash will buy that and a Schmuck Z. Austin Creed (the WWE wrestler who has a YouTube gaming channel called 'UpUpDownDown') was wearing one... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Manhattan Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Austin Creed (the WWE wrestler who has a YouTube gaming channel called 'UpUpDownDown') was wearing one... The guy on the left, Shinsuke Nakamura, needs to stop hitting his opponents in the balls. Wait, maybe that's just a metaphor for the whole Atari VCS thing? It's all one giant kick in the balls. Learn to enjoy the pain. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leech Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I actually found a "use" for Speakerhats. It is for that one day where we as a species are all in harmony and you can walk out your front door and all play "Dancing in the streets" together, and dance to the same tune wherever you go! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be cool, but we will have killed the Atari VCS and its speakerhats by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBerel Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Man, this Ataribawx topic is really getting stale now that they got their money. I love how the officially curated Ataribawx FAQ and info thread has digressed into a feedback forum for Biff's much self promoted home brew game. I think this just became the more relevant topic, tacos and all. (That ain't saying much) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Why do I have to wait longer than usual? This is not just pre-orders: You're helping to build the device, and we need to know how many to make before we can start production. This is the first of its kind, and you'll be glad you waited. We will send you updates while we work to produce the first batch. Obviously all the backers are busy helping to build the device. Atari® wouldn't have said that if it weren't true. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodmot Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 No updates yet. Lul. If Atari doesn't provide an update in the next 17 days, they're liable to lose the 3 million dollars for violating Indiegogo's ToS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 If Atari doesn't provide an update in the next 17 days, they're liable to lose the 3 million dollars for violating Indiegogo's ToS. Citation needed? Is there a hard and fast rule about updates needing to come out every so often or they lose their money? It's not quite $3M. Perhaps you'd like to throw in a bit more just to get them over the hump. Edit: Ah yes, it does exist. Not sure how tough they really are on campaign runners, but section 4 of https://www.indiegogo.com/about/terms#/creatingandrunning says As a Campaign Owner, you are entering into a legal agreement with a Contributor when they make a Contribution to your Campaign, which includes the following obligations (in addition to the all other Terms and Additional Policies): Legal obligations of Campaign Owners Make good faith efforts to fulfill the Perks associated with a Campaign in the timeframe that is communicated to Contributors. Immediately notify Contributors if there are obstacles or delays. Respond promptly and truthfully to all questions posed to them by Contributors. Provide substantive and quality updates at least once a month to Contributors. If you have received the Contributions from your Campaign, issue refunds to Contributors if you cannot deliver Perks. Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the use of Contributions and delivery of Perks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a quote taken directly from IndieGoGo's TOS: 4. Legal obligations of Campaign Owners As a Campaign Owner, you are entering into a legal agreement with a Contributor when they make a Contribution to your Campaign, which includes the following obligations (in addition to the all other Terms and Additional Policies): a. Make good faith efforts to fulfill the Perks associated with a Campaign in the timeframe that is communicated to Contributors. b. Immediately notify Contributors if there are obstacles or delays. c. Respond promptly and truthfully to all questions posed to them by Contributors. d. Provide substantive and quality updates at least once a month to Contributors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Given Nutari™'s litigious nature, I would not be surprised if their lawyers found a loophole in Indigogo's TOS big enough to drive a taco truck through. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's the other thing-- on section 5 of the TOS it *almost* seems to contradict itself: https://www.indiegogo.com/about/terms Atari could actually use that section as a defense against section 4.

Well I thought I made it perfectly clear before-- I'm looking at it from both angles and pretty much just weighing in facts/information on both sides.
