OCAT Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) ^ They only sell licenses, and the occasional Hat... they have no experience first hand about importing electronics.

If they are ready to go, in the good ole US of A then what is new Atari waiting on? Missing yet ANOTHER ship date just to keep up with their tradition of setting and missing ship dates??? Good gracious I don’t think this lame excuse for a company could stick their thumb up their butt or eat a taco correctly. I just thought I would check back in to see what is going on and well, I’m not disappointed with the VCS misfires. What’s sad is if this thing, with all its misgivings, were to actually show up on a store shelf somewhere...I’d buy it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverMuch Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Haven't been around much, but found myself missing the old taco thread, so I thought I'd come by and check to see how backers were enjoying their new VCS's.

I forgot there was a version with no controllers sold to the masses. Should be amusing to hear how they explain not providing those specific units to those that are waiting for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCAT Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) ^ -We ran out of boxes -Sickness, mandatory 31 days isolation -We ran out of those dessicant things, waiting for shipment -The Dollar store across the street ran out of bubble wrap, can't ship without it and the other stores charge too much. -Someone lost an ear ring, so we have to open up all the boxes again and make sure it did not fall in, might take a while.

The units could be sitting in a container at the port of entry, waiting for either Customs or Nutari to deal with <insert bureaucratic requirement(s) here> before they can be released. That would technically put them in the US, so they could claim that everything has arrived. Of course, it's well beyond Nutari's comprehension that this is where working with a Customs broker in advance of the shipment leaving Shenzen would have been a good idea, but then again Customs brokers generally want actual money to perform their job and don't accept payment in Atacocoin. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCAT Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) ^ Imagine if that is the problem!!! The people with the shipment are holding it hostage until Ataco&Co deliver the cash first, they see on the internets that these guys dont generally pay people for work, so they want the money up front and Atari ran out of it (allegedly) If I was a shareholder I would be deeply concerned. I would not want my money tied up in a debacle when there could be a Taco sale soon. You have to look at Value of return, either keep the 10,000 shares or buy that Taco platter and eat like a King before they come clean with the bad news. ??⚖?? ??

Good point on the payment issue, seeing how they stiffed the architect of the PCB. Yea, so who knows how they will get around this one ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodoreCEO Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I love the picture of the controller on that gentleman's website. It's good to see that Atari have opted to follow in the footsteps of 'directional pad greatness' by aping the Amiga CD32 controller's d-pad. This is a sure fire winner right here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
