Flojomojo #9826 Posted June 21, 2018 You lost me at "we have been listening to customer feedback." but even a stopped clock is right twice a day, right? All quiet on the IGG front, nothing posted for 2 days, not since this this statement, which screams "please buy out our stupid company" to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacman000 #9827 Posted June 21, 2018 Obviously the brand has some value; if it didn't they wouldn't be able to get the Flashbacks into stores. To sell the Ataribox Atari SA needed to show consumers a vision & plan to get there. They had neither. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Csonicgo #9829 Posted June 21, 2018 If you didn't see this coming from a mile away, Lenscrafters is half off with free eye exams this month.Jeez Louise, How many of these scamstarters does it take? When something like this falls apart because someone actually does a journalism and investigates this stuff for more than 30 seconds, you'd think no one would try this garbage again. I guess I was wrong! So many suckers. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atari PAC-MAN Fan #9830 Posted June 21, 2018 Obviously the brand has some value; if it didn't they wouldn't be able to get the Flashbacks into stores. To sell the Ataribox Atari SA needed to show consumers a vision & plan to get there. They had neither. The only reason the the brand still has some value is because of its original form. The “original form” being actual Atari. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PlaysWithWolves #9832 Posted June 21, 2018 I'm not familiar with either of these sites, but Nutari may need to bring on a third PR firm before it spreads too far: Atari Falsely Accuses Journalist of Lying Over a Critical Article Atari Reveals VCS Tribute Edition, Accuses UK Outlet of Lying Then again, if there's enough Nutari fans out there like this fella at Reddit /AtariVCS, maybe they can save some money; let the supporters do the work: 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Manhattan #9833 Posted June 21, 2018 Today's numbers. $2,920,946 USD raised by 11087 backers with only 8 days left in the campaign. Saying they passed 3 million dollars would certainly make for a good PR sound-bite, however for the last several days new funding has slowed to a crawl. I'm still wondering if we'll see that end of funding bump that many campaigns see before the end. On a side note, that is like totally, related to this thread.... A new taco joint has opened up in my area. It's called Super Taco. I'm thinking about checking them out tonight. Despite the generic name, it's allegedly an authentic family run place, so that bodes well for the quality of the food. Three hard shell tacos, nachos, and a giant coke incoming. Wish me luck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's becoming highly unlikely they're going to reach $3 million. In the last 24 hours they have had a total of 19 backers. Of those 19, 4 of which were double backers (1 console, 1 controller). And this doesn't account for the backers threatening to get refunds if more info isn't released Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to get a betting pool going on this one. Put your money down. Gentleman's wagers of a $1. Perhaps a pool? Winner takes all. You might win enough to buy a value menu item at Taco Bell.

Let us know how that works out for you. I think that's enough Atari-related gambling for one month. If you need more, you could go here and put some money into their pockets. Meanwhile, on IndieGoGo, Atari continues to imply, but not quite promise, better things in the future.

I think that's enough Atari-related gambling for one month. But think of all the tacos you could win! Taco Bell's new Dollar Cravings Menu is full of delicious options, and they're available now for only $1 per item! https://www.tacobell.com/food/dollar-cravings Meanwhile, on IndieGoGo, Atari continues to imply, but not quite promise, better things in the future.

How about this? $100 value for a "limited time only" (on a geological time scale, everything is for a limited time) Personally, I think this computer-related one would be a better fit for the AtariBox "investor." 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Manhattan #9841 Posted June 21, 2018 I wouldn't bet on this goofy, unpredictable campaign even with Dr Manhattan's scratch-off winnings. The funny thing is I just won another $10 on a scratch off card just yesterday. I asked a guy at a convenience store in the middle of freaking nowhere if I could use his bathroom and I felt bad because I didn't buy anything, so I went back in and bought a $5 scratcher. Lucky New York State Red 888 card. Personally, I think this computer-related one would be a better fit for the AtariBox "investor." idiot_embroidered_baseball_hat-r5de99aada3a5402aa9abbcc8d318d230_65ww4_8byvr_512.jpg Oh, the sling and arrows.

tschak909 #9845 Posted June 21, 2018 Just listened to the Register's interview... HOOOOOOOLY SHIT... most non-interview interview EVER. The guy "in charge" is a complete incompetent.
