Atari VCS redirect pointed back to Atari 2600

Please discuss this redirect at the Atari 2600 talk page. Ubcule (talk) 13:15, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Does a piece of vapourware really need its own WikiPage? I've seen pages removed for far less. It should be removed or the redirect to 2600 left intact if/until it's a viable product. 2A02:810D:22C0:484:D047:8B0F:E4D8:AA6D (talk) 09:31, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vaporware that gets significant coverage passes the GNG. Released products that do not get significant coverage fail GNG. Is it sometimes stupid? Sure. But we build an encyclopedia about what can be verified without original research, even when the information is about things that do not and never will exist.

Should Atari VCS have a "Controversies" Section?

Atari has missed update deadlines, their social media agency ÜberStrategist Inc are removing posts and blocking/banning users that simply ask for an update on the project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.122.136.140 (talk) 13:22, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to provide reliable secondary coverage to include anything. -- ferret (talk) 13:49, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some controversies:

  • Atari brings an empty box, no details to a hotel room outside GDC before crowdfunding campaign.[1]
  • Atari denies the above, so The Register posts recordings.[2]
  • Feargal Mac Conuladh leaves the project and sues Atari Gamebox, LLC.[3]
  • Atari fakes Tempest 4000 gameplay on their hardware, but creator Llammasoft says there's no Linux port.[4]
