+frankodragon Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 We hinted he should buy stock in Del Taco. I guess he'll never learn now. Or unless he's trolling. https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/taco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBerel Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I think he was always trolling. He just genuinely thinks Atari is great, but he's clueless and poor. Just gets his jollies playin the knowledgeable stock expert, which he obviously ain't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaysWithWolves Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I have no doubt Pdiddle is a troll, but as you may recall we discovered his Atari stock lust before he ever mentioned it here. Of course, he could have sold all his shares and is just trollin' now. But this makes me laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 One of the shillier shills in the IGG comments has posted a couple of video interviews with Fred, in which he sports a scraggly-ass Arafat-esque beard. I've got some other stuff to do today, so please picture an animated gif of Konami's Track and Field closing ceremonies. Big heads of our friends on the little pixel bodies. The event was BEARDS First - Joe MOAK Second - FRED Chesnais DNF - Mike ARZT He probably said some shit too, maybe it would be funny to watch if you're in the right kind of sad mood. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACODON Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Finally heard back from bank on my refund. 1st step is done. Now we wait. Since I hear Atari lurks here and reads our posts I guess I will keep it vague just in case but it is looking good. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCAT Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) One of the shillier shills in the IGG commentsPerhaps Atari should spend some $$$ and hire Schiller (Phil. Schiller) from Apple for a week and have him shill for Atari, they can pay him a few hundred thousand shillings for the weeks work, then more people will back this thing, the way I see it, money cannot be spent on Vaporware so why not spend it on marketing? then at the end of 2019 when they have nothing to ship to backers, claim there was no money left for development to continue because they hired an Apple exec for a week and spent the entire "Research and Dev" budget on marketing. I think Elvis had a song about this... I'm all shilled up Mm mm mm As for the #CUP, this is the Coleco Chameleon all over again, and that was a fiasco that drained Ian's will to live and turned PAT at one point into a raging Mark Ruffalo, but no hulk Edited March 22, 2019 by OCAT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually been wondering this myself. Who gets the charge back. I'd assume IGG. Either way I don't care. I don't want to deal with either ever again. Nor do I ever want to see Rainfactory involved in anything again. They clearly do not care about the customer service they claim to be providing on behalf of Atari.

Yeah I think the bank would go directly to IGG and they aren't going to care about their TOS or who the hell Atari is ... if more people put the effort that you are putting in to get your money back then IGG would probably go after Atari but a few refunds here and there isn't going to break the "bank" enough for IGG to care much. Of course they don't want other users to know that you can force a refund ... ignorance of the users is their business model. And good for you for using a credit card man. I would assume most people used a paypal account. SOL SOL SOL!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they can dispute really is "we have a no refund policy" but your bank has a you didn't deliver when you said you would deliver policy so I think you'll win this one.

I think Atari's recent communication really screwed IGG I've been saving emails and doing screen prints so I can flood them with paperwork if need be. If I was guessing though. They will either dispute this rather fast or not bother with it. I doubt they would waste time waiting to dispute it back. I'd say if after next week I don't hear anything, I should be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember, if the bank doesn't come through for you, cancel your card and bank with somebody else. If you have good credit you can transfer the debt to another bank to pay them off and close it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clearly do not care about the customer service they claim to be providing on behalf of Atari. Rainfactory are a bunch of fraudulent, propaganda fueled scam artists. There's a wealth of evidence on that which I posted to this topic last year. Too much to revisit. Suffice to say, they were brought in from the beginning for a reason. They specialize in maximizing the revenue collected in these scam crowdfunding projects by selling a mountain of bullshit that doesn't exist and promoting what never was. They also closely manage/bury negative feedback to keep the pigeons on the hook. They're worse than Atari because they facilitate and enable idiots who would otherwise have a harder time stealing people's money. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did run a simple search on them and the reviews are either bad or vaguely neutral. If people won't outright say they had a positive experience, that speaks volumes to me. Clearly they are shady and most folks are afraid to say anything too negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
