The Historian #18151 Posted June 11, 2019 I'm trying really hard not to take it out on the Atari CM because There is no Atari CM. Never has been. There has either been a shift in companies running their social channel or the one they had is actually stepping thing up a little. Either way they are not effective at managing a Gaming company's social media. accounts. Their mistake is treating this like any other Crowdfunding effort. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flojomojo #18152 Posted June 11, 2019 Would it be fair to say they're doing the best they can with the resources and information they have been given, which seems to be, "not much?" 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaggy the Atarian #18155 Posted June 11, 2019 So while Atari sneaks around in the shadows of E3 like Snidley Whiplash, Tommy Tallarico is showing off the Intellivision Amico with 22 games. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PlaysWithWolves #18158 Posted June 11, 2019 'Exclusive' to me seems a bit of a misnomer since it's the same info. It just looks like another article that gives the release dates from Indiegogo with the extra 'Walmart and Gamestop' stuff thrown in. Well, they do have a brand new render: The Wal-Mart exclusive "Kevlar Gold". A NEW RENDER. You taco kids should be excited about this. It's a new render! Poor Gamestop just gets an overpriced Onyx edition for an exclusive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trinity #18159 Posted June 11, 2019 If they would just make a 100% reproduction of the heavy sixer, and a good crt tv.... I'd pay for that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Nathan Strum #18160 Posted June 11, 2019 They're like this, but without the bright colors, low prices, or sassy attitude. Or product. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TACODON #18161 Posted June 11, 2019 That Gold Kevlar looks ugly. So when will all the pre-order people start bitching because they are bringing the woodgrain back again after saying they wouldn't do that? This is the 3rd time they are offering that version up for sale. How about a custom front decal with tacos on it and offer it exclusively for AtariAge users? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+KaeruYojimbo #18162 Posted June 11, 2019 "Exclusive distribution partnership" is marketing speak for "no one else will touch this thing." Also, how can they be exclusive with Walmart and Gamestop? I can't say I'm "exclusive" with Betty if on the nights I'm not hooking up with her I hook up with Veronica. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So when will all the pre-order people start bitching because they are bringing the woodgrain back again after saying they wouldn't do that? This is the 3rd time they are offering that version up for sale. The complaining should start real soon now. I'm curious when they'll break out of their "prototype" pit. They've been in there for such a very long time. How about a custom front decal with tacos on it and offer it exclusively for AtariAge users? Speaking for myself, I don't want any part of this boondoggle. I guess they could send me one for free, if they confused me with someone who liked what they say they're doing. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlecRob #18169 Posted June 11, 2019 Yeah but what about people who backed/preordered before 400 and 800 were announced? What version of the console will we be getting? Confusing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
