Neck beards gonna neck beard. People will be upset no matter what you do. But I can see why people hate crowdfunding. It has a pretty bad reputation when it comes to consoles. Is that what the nerd rage was about, dschult3? Were they angry about the crowdfunding? Or was it the design and function of the Atari Box that compelled them to leave aggressive comments?

Or was it the design and function of the Atari Box that compelled them to leave aggressive comments? I'm on a few other Atari forums, and the rage seems to be coming from both directions. While I understand their trepidation, the hate machine is out in full force. I have a feeling that this project is DOA due to the negativity created by the common thread of group think. I think options are good on the free market, and if this project fails because it sucks, then so be it. However, people are really butt hurt over the Linux design, and others are having epileptic seizures over the crowdfunding. This type of negative hive mentality is so common place on the internet these days, and I think some projects are killed because of it. Mob mentality is really depressing to see. What a shame...

I found my Atari Box email in the spam folder today. I suppose that is irony, because a lot of people think this is electronic spam. Apparently, you can preorder it without any info on the games. Since people are saying that this thing is most likely to be a mid-range computer, I suppose there is something to it; however, I don't know what the hell they are thinking over there...

People are so damn excited to make videos blasting the project, that they are tripping over themselves to do so. Although I don't think this is like the Retro VGS, this thing looks like a higher end Ouya. It was probably doomed from the start.

I'm not excited for this at all anymore. Also it's the worst possible time of the year to launch kickstarters or pre-orders.
Edit: forgot an important «not» in there.

They've delayed the launch indefinitely. This is just a disaster of a project. Still, delaying it is most likely the best course of action right now.

The people who own the name Atari should just lose the rights to it. Here's their latest scam. Fucking crypto-currency: Atari Coin.

As much as I want Atari to come back and rock in the modern era of video games; these people who own Atari are scammers. I would never invest into a crypto currency made by the slightly cooler cousin of the Coleco Chameleon.
