dark-aleph Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Q: Is it a console or is it not a console? A: A bit of each. It's a con with no soul. Too many people sharing burrito recipes on this thread. Kids of today won't stand for that, they be keeping it real: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that statement, "Knowing what we know now, not sure what were thinking at the time.", and it immediately makes me think of these. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'm confused, is it "No news is good news" or "Good news is we are close"? If no news = good news, and good news = we are close, then no news = we are close. Therefore, there is no news that they are close. 1 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fultonbot Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Is it okay for me to lodge a "late in the game complaint" about them using the "800" trademark on this piece of garbage? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound to me like if they had known that this little scheme would not result in causing their value to arbitrarily skyrocket to the point of some loaded sucker buying them out, then they would have dumped the VCS for some other nonsense, like the hotels idea. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Historian Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) On 4/25/2020 at 10:48 AM, DurradonXylles said: They already got their hand slapped on Reddit for doing this exact same thing; muting and deleting anyone who dared to speak of the Atari Box with anything less then fanatical praise, leading to the rather hilarious situation where Atari was stripped of mod status in their own Reddit for abusing it. To be clear, they banned one user and removed one post. But the post in question was 100% factual and Atari claimed it was attacking them. This was after publically statng they would not be doing any moderation, specifically saying they would not be deleting posts. They broke their word and I removed them. Simple as that, no big mass banning and deletes by Atari.. Edited May 2, 2020 by The Historian 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 So a token, like a token of esteem. Seems appropriate. You don't get the actual esteem, just a token of it. Just like backers aren't getting an actual console. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 So now, Atari has moved from "asking for money in exchange for something we might never deliver" to "asking for money in exchange for literally nothing". 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Sure, Go ahead! But I think you should have to wait in line behind those of us who can't believe they had the unlimited gall to call this ShitShow a "vcs" ... I also think all of us here should never capitalize those letters, Unless we mean a Real ATARI VCS from the 70s/80s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
