Atari wants higher profit margins, it wouldn’t be realistic in any capacity.

Also Analogue has had a hard time shipping any units. An FPGA is the wrong product for a large company making a simple product.

Not to mention projects like the analogue pocket were a huge undertaking of many talented and dedicated individuals with the goal of fufiling a dream product. This works for a small team but not so much for a large corporation who's only motivation is profit.
