Nolan Bushnell was forced out of Atari in 1978. How long should he be responsible for their culture? Will we blame the White House culture's issues on Barack Obama in 2056? This seems to be pushing it.
Also why does anyone care what the culture of Atari is today? Look at their website https://www.atari.com https://www.atari.com . They are NOT a force in the gaming industry. No one looks to them to set expectations of behavior. They basically only exist to port classic implementations of ancient games onto new hardware. If there core offering is nostalgia, I wouldn't be surprised if there office culture is a little behind the times.
This feels like the a take down piece on the shitty culture at my local gamestop. It might not disagree that Atari culture sucks, but I don't understand why anyone should care.
Disclaimer: Nolan Bushnell was briefly my neighbor. He was a super shitty neighbor and his construction workers parked on my lawn. In case he reads this... all the neighbors still don't like you 15 years later. Should I write on article about it to expose him?
- bryanlarsen 9y agoWhen I and the author are talking about the "culture of today", we're not talking about Atari any more.
- ghostbrainalpha 9y agoAhhh.... understood. I should probably delete my comment but I will let the dumbassary stand for shaming purposes.
