Tying in a little early stage ready player one vibe with the play / earn / spend tokens. We still don't know what else they have going on behind the scenes. You still holding on to their stocks? Saw something posted on their tokens that made it seem they were unsure of what they were doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Whatever it is I can't imagine it being all that interesting. Not sure I'm into the "Ready Player One" vibe. It's "too much." Overwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerDubs Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Yah- still holding. Can't see a point in selling at a loss as I still think the 'brand' has potential to easily grow back to a couple dollars. The management sucks in many ways....but luckily many of their projects aren't ran by them. On that note- to the flomo guy in the tact thread (since I can't respond there)- the financial period ended Mar 31, but the report won't be out until end of June... the next period ends end of Sept, report released end of Dec. Same timing every year. Atari already gave guidance last Sept at the shareholder meeting to expect the results which ended March to be 'bad' as they were spending money on the VCS project. They also expected to have the console released before March 31 which would allow them to count the indigo 3 mil in. (they've 'held' it off any accounting so far). So yea- the report in June is going to suck, and all of us invested in the conpany already know and expect it. (typo-ed that- went back to correct it, and then said nah...it seems right! ;) ) Problem is if the console doesn't release between now and Sept 31...then the next half may to suck as well...depends on these other projects.

Keatah Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 All penny-sized investments and stocks have "the potential" to grow to a coupla bucks. The question is will they? And therein lies the promises and speculations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerDubs Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Of course... but how many how the name recognition? Hate them or love them- Atari is still a word know worldwide and that alone is a huge advantage, and likely why companies still partner with them.

Keatah Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Atari is a name known worldwide for old videogames that old people play. These oldsters are the rich ones with fabulous buying power and influence. We oldies are the keepers of the heritage and even know how to extend it, broaden it, carry it forward, by producing games that are true to the spirit - the new homebrews. Not forgetting hardware accessories. That's more "Atari" than anything fake atari can come up with.. Heck, even Emulator Stella and Emulator Altirra are "more Atari" than fake atari. And there isn't a chance in hell we associate the new Atari with anything progressive, anything exciting.. Let alone state-of-the-art and worthwhile. We know modern day atari is a flop in the bucket. Youngsters know modern day atari as nothing to get excited over. To them it's nothing grand like back in the 1980's. To them it's just another company farting out the occasional online regurgitation (of overused classics) and the frequent rumor. Maybe make some merch.. Shallow.

PowerDubs Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 That is mostly an emotional rant. True the most die-hard, and knowledgeable OG fans understand and hate what Fred has done. But the vast majority of the population doesn't know, doesn't care- and still knows the name. Balk all you want- a companies #1 asset is pretty much brand name recognition. To have that globally is huge if they can get their shit together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 And a very correct emotional rant. Brand recognition means nothing here because there is nothing memorable being produced. Newcomers to the atari name are like meh. The vast majority of the population takes a peek inside and sees reason not to care. And they don't hold the atari name on a pedestal any higher than any other game studio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait I'm confused, if the OG fans who care want nothing to do with Atari in it's current state and by your admission the majority of the population neither knows or cares about Atari, who is the tacobox for again? 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly they talk shit, then show fake shit, then show shit again whilst talking shit, then show broken shit, then make up shit and then no shit. This will destroy brand name recognition. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerDubs Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 Sign up so you can log in if you are interested in keep an eye on this- Account Sign Up There is an interesting page once you log in that says you can invest a token you buy for 3 months and get 3% return, or 6 months for 6.5% return. No idea how that works. Initial presale finished a couple days ago- first round they sold 4,2536,172 at 8 cents. Second round started today, also at 8 cents. Third round slated for April 30th at 20 cents each. Under the 'Deposit' tab- if you want to put funds in to purchase an Atari Token- they have an option for credit card (as well as bank and other cryptos)... kind of surprising. I didn't click on it- but would be funny to use a car and get cash back rewards. This site currently says, the following. No idea what it means, no idea of the difference. Value of 1 ATRI: $0.08 Value of 1 ATAR: $0.10 Doesn't have to make sense to make money. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Wow - this will end up making WAY more money than investing in their pathetic penny stock! Perhaps I should drop my entire $2400 stimulus check on this. What could possibly go wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerDubs Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Ya never know. Member that guy that bought a couple pizzas for 10,000 bitcoin? https://www.investopedia.com/news/bitcoin-pizza-day-celebrating-20-million-pizza-order/ Yea- FOMO blah blah blah, dumb, useless... but how many people in the world? Lotta dummies- so again, at the right price name recognition is worth something. Pizza dude lost well over 150 mil at bitcoins peak- for 2 pizzas. Even though I dislike Atari methods and management, just like the hotel project- this has a lot of other people involved besides Atari so maybe I'll throw $50 for S&G..grab some tokens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
