icymi, this latest iteration of Atari has been on a buying spree over the last year or so, which includes:

Mobygames
AtariAge
Nightdive Studios
Billionsoft's library/brands (Accolade, GT Interactive plus select Microprose and Infogrames titles; 100+ games total)
12 Stern Electronics arcade games/trademarks (including Berserk and Frenzy)
12+ M Network Atari 2600 games/trademarks

plus a significant investment in AntStream, the does-anyone-actually-use-this streaming service for vintage games (and previous Mobygames owner, hence all the stealth Antstream ads/SEO crap that was and probably still is embedded in every page)

Oh god. This isn't going to be good

Genuinely angry about this. However good Atari’s current direction, whatever resources this nets Digital Eclipse right now, eventually Atari will pivot to chasing the next Big Thing… and then what.
