Flojomojo Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 And yet I already have multiple devices for playing Atari and Steam games, including some running multiple flavors of Linux. But I guess I just don't understand the heritage and legacy of this great project, expertly executed with brilliant communication and peerless product management. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, like so-and-so and whatshisface. I love their AAA quality games! 2. I don't recall Atari proclaiming that it was a crappy pseudo-PC that could play all PC games ever made until last month.

Flojomojo Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Sunday morning: I just woke up and read the single dumbest thing I'm going to see for the rest of the month. That's a pretty amazing accomplishment for Dubs. Coming soon from Apple: the Newton 2020 personal digital assistant, back from the dead for all the retro handheld fans. Put your money up front, no refunds, no software, long development cycle, holistic ecosystem, no raw edges, we really want this to happen. Serious question: he's just trying to wind people up with his stupid trolling, right? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBerel Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I think in his addled mind, he genuinely believes comparing AtariSA to Apple make his worthless stock more marketable and therefore positioned for the huge gains he's still waiting for. The only thing goin for him is that these clown probably won't loose their shirts on the stupid box as they'll expend nothing more than they took the suckers for on the front end, if that. They'll probably take a profit from the suckers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaysWithWolves Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Just like when Apple put out misleading pictures, videos, and 3D-printed boxes with battery-operated lights to drum up crowdfunding dollars. If that's true, he's absolutely right! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KaeruYojimbo Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Maybe not ethics, but Apple did have an established track record of actually making things. Functioning things. Something Fredtari lacks. Someone really need to explain the difference between a hater and a pragmatist to Dubs and the Pigeon Patrol. Wanting Atari to prove they can make what they promise before lavishing them with praise and handing them fistfuls of money isn't hate, it's rational behavior. Something they obviously aren't familiar with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+frankodragon Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Three million compared to a trillion is like buying a lukewarm, mediocre burger versus an all-you-can-eat taco bar. Someone over at Apple is looking at Atari's figures and doing their best Nelson laugh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBerel Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 So, I guess that makes us the AtariVCS Haters group by default as their pigeons keep calling us. You know, the single biggest and most knowledgeable community of all things Atari that exists simply to find fault in the first Atari product to be announced in some 20 years. Because, haters gonna hate. There could be no other reasons for such a strange occurrence. Legitimate reasons an intelligent person would doubt Atari's pre-order VCS Project 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agillig Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 1 hour ago, Inky said: I've been banned from posting on the AtacoVCS page. The moderator there seems to have no patience for people who don't drink the koolaid. In fairness, if I was an unpaid college intern, tasked with promoting a garbage product, I'd probably be pretty cranky too. It's a bad look for Atari. The biggest and most frequent accusation is that they've showed no games. Their response is "Just wait and see" or to ban people. How about showing some if the VCS games? If they're claiming it will play Stream games, who not just upload a video of a popular PC game running on the system. Show a video of someone starting up the system, booting the game, and then 10 minutes of gameplay. That's what the makers of the Polymega did, and it showed us it was a real product. The fact "Atari" doesn't do this is why I still think this thing is vaporware. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
