I went looking for the owner of the Atari brand for a luxury tech pitch, basically to do a heritage brand revitalization play, but couldn't figure out who to talk to at the time. Most luxury tech products were just too vulgar or too superficial to survive, but I could totally do one with Atari.
- ErikAugust 6y agoAren’t they making an Atari hotel? Is that what you had in mind?
- motohagiography 6y agoI read about that and thought it was such a waste. The products themselves I may just develop and create a new one, but it just seemed like such an obvious win to use the Atari brand.
- ticmasta 6y agoforget about that - they're doing a cryptocurrency!
- nasalgoat 6y agoDid you talk to the guys who did the physical Pong game?
- hobby-coder-guy 6y agoVulgar?
- bionsystem 6y agoThe owner of the brand is the company called Atari SA, previously Infogrames. The CEO is called Fred Chesnay and the company is listed on the French stock exchange. They have a portfolio of products around the brand and seem to be willing to explore many territories, including cryptocurrencies, hotels, as well as good old video games including mobile games and an AMD based pc/console hybrid for the living room coming out at the moment. Given the wide range of ideas I'm sure they would be willing to do business if you have a good one.
