What can only be summed up as one of the biggest failures when it comes to gaming consoles, the Atari VCS, is coming to an end, as Atari has decided to pull the plug. The company is said to have cancelled all of its "existing VCS manufacturing contracts", which means that after its current stock is sold out, it's unlikely that the company will make any more VCS consoles.

For the first time in a long time I have a hard time feeling excited for these events. Maybe it's because of all these massive lay offs and closures there hasn't exactly been good news since the start of the year.
Maybe come next week I'll get a little more excited but I dunno I just can't get too excited right now
Is it just me or is there little to no buzz or marketing leading up to this compared to previous SGF?
After the way they rudely hurried people off the stage at The Game Awards, I won't bother watching any of the streams for this. I'll just checkout out a few game trailers on Youtube after they're uploaded there.
The VP of Marketing at Boosteroid revealed that the company is in talks with major publishers to secure exclusive games on the service.
So they're adding Skull and Bones to their service? That doesn't seem exciting at all lol.
Not surprising. Im hoping they clearance out the remaining stock. I'd pick one up at that point.
It was a PC. I'm glad that they did 50 year anniversary collection for all platforms.
When I saw that, I knew it was over.
Great history.
0 interest in it.
From playing on the Atari 5200 til now....video games have came along way
Probably the strangest retro console revival project to date Atari barely got it to launch in the first place and outside of a very niche crowd this had no appeal.
The 50th anniversaries collection is where it's at though for celebrating their history
