TACODON Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 What worries me is how many of the die-hards will spend way too much on those Atari Tokens. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 i think it would've been funnier if they called them 'Atari Magic Beans', though. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe Atari Flooz. (Hey, they seem to be all about bringing back defunct brands, so why not?) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm sure history will be rewritten that the VCS was mere weeks from being released until COVID 19 came around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely one of the feistier supporters. I get it that they want info, but at some point you have to accept you got played. This system being released this year was a long shot as it was. With the disruption to the economy and supply chain, they might as well forget it. If they EVER release this system, I'll be shocked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Spriggy Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Atari SA's Return On Capital Employed (ROCE) is looking dismal and sadly painting an ever enlarging taco picture to it's audience. Currently running at 2.9%, previously 25%, 3 years ago. CLICK HERE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I'm surprised that this hasn't been posted here yet: https://www.theregister.co.uk/AMP/2020/04/08/atari_vcs_architect_sues/ While some is the same info we knew about, there was this new tidbit that you can throw onto the enormous pile of examples of "Atari refusing to pay out promises" Quote Wyatt and Conuladh are not the only people who claimed to have been ripped off by Atari. We have spoken to a contestant on a short-lived TV game show that was developed by Atari, and based on one of its classic games. This contestant won their episode, though said they never received the prize money despite repeated requests. Granted, I'm 100% sure that the King of the VCShills will just dismiss it all as "nonsense" and "garbage," since he lacks the intellectual capacity to refute any of the accusations. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Impprtant announcement: With the stay at home stuff and all, I seem to have put on a few pounds, so I'm switching to taco salads for the duration. Any updates for a release date? I'm curious how much weight I'll lose before release. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a reoccurring pattern at Atari, refusing to pay their bills and/or re-writing signed contracts to their advantage, forcing it to go to court and then settling out for less then what was actually owed. I can see why Atari does it, why pay everything you owe someone when you can force them to settle for considerably less rather then the hassle of fighting it out in court forever, but you would think soon they are going to burn enough bridges that they will get to a point where no-one will be willing to sign a deal with them. If you know they will quite happily knife you in the back first chance they get if they think it will save them a buck, that reputation would make it challenging to find people willing to work for you I would think. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
