    It’s like governments representing succeeding states of a long dead countries that were in a war centuries or millennia ago coming together to shake hands and take pictures.

    iirc atari hasn’t been the original company called atari in a long time, it’s just a brand name that has been bought and sold

      Basically a Ship of Theseus argument though. The current iteration of the company is selling their retro games and hardware again at least.

        Even original Nolan Bushnell’s Atari, was bought by Warner Brothers, then (mostly) bought by Jack Tramiel after leaving Commodore. So it’s not an unbroken line. Infogrames Fr’s new management has quit with the NFT nonsense, and is making Atari-related stuff that isn’t awful.
