2024, where nostalgia sells
Talarico has been milking investors with the intellivision brand since 2017, while delivering absolutely nothing.
So sure, it works for 2024, but it's been true for a while.
Yeah agreed. Nostalgia has sold for a while now
An anti-competative business move that's forty years late.
why even is atari still around
The original company is not.
On February 13, 1996, Atari agreed to merge with JTS Inc., a short-lived maker of hard disk drives, in a reverse takeover to form JTS Corporation.[4][2] The reverse merger was completed on July 30, 1996.[1] Atari's role in the new company largely became a holder for most of its properties. Most of Atari's staff members were either dismissed or resigned, and its Atari Interactive division was quickly shut down,[27] with the remainder of its employees being relocated to JTS's headquarters.[5][28] Consequently, the Atari name almost vanished from the consumer market.
On March 13, 1998, JTS Corporation sold the Atari name and assets to Hasbro Interactive for $5 million,[3] less than a fifth of what Warner Communications had paid 22 years earlier. The transaction primarily involved the brand and intellectual property rights, which Hasbro Interactive largely used as a brand name for retro game releases.[a][b]
On January 29, 2001, Hasbro Interactive was sold to Infogrames,[31] which renamed it Infogrames Interactive and then the Atari Interactive name in 2003. The present day Atari Interactive, through Atari SA, continues to hold and license all Atari trademarks as well as produce many new games, some based on Atari's original properties, to this day.
So does that mean they're gonna be selling the Amico without the intellivision branding?
Their mothers must be very proud.
