CPUWIZ Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I wonder how many different people respond as "Atari", it must be more than one person, or the dude is a schizo. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5x7 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Spring 2020 ends June 20 but they might be talking Southern Hemisphere so could be Dec 2020. Really if you look at it, did they ever say 2020? So it could be an unnamed future spring. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_B Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Thinking about it, they didnt mention Earth either. It could be the next Martian spring, which runs from Feb to Aug 2021. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatah Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Talking to atari is like talking to those transparent people. The ones you're not sure if they understand what you're saying. Like talking through them instead of at them or with them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TankedThomas Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 People wouldn't be so critical and mad if Atari didn't keep lying. I know it's been said before but it really is that simple. Yes, crowd-funded projects get delayed all the time... so be honest about it. It's evident to everyone with half a brain that they won't meet this release date target, just like with their last two targets - why the ruse? Aside from having nothing, wanting people's money and being borderline con-artists, it accomplishes nothing. So I guess it actually accomplishes a lot if Atari's goal is to be scumbags, but it does nothing to make them look like a legitimate business. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerx Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) See, Lucas...this is why people point and laugh at your core group of diehards. Atari isn't a charitable organization, and they aren't my kid struggling with math. They're a company that's taken people's money, and are looking to earn more. They don't get credit for trying hard. There are no participation ribbons. They aren't doing this as a favor that anyone should be thankful for. They're a business. They aren't making a product for people to enjoy, they're making a product for people to purchase. To a rational, fully functioning adult, it doesn't matter how hard they're trying. All that should matter is the product, or lack thereof. Progress, or lack thereof. Communication, or lack thereof. A clearly defined market and path to success and support in such, or lack thereof. An image of honesty and integrity, or lack thereof. That you few can't seem to grasp this, or why even the Indiegogo page has turned into complaints, is why the zealots have been the butt of jokes since the beginning.

I know it's been said before but it really is that simple. And actually had games developed for it. Or actually showed the hardware working in full order instead of hidden in a box.
