Atari Is Officially Pulling Support for the Atari VCS
"We recognise that this is unwelcome news". It's official! Atari is sunsetting the Atari VCS. Initially teased during E3 2017 under the name 'Ataribox' , the Linux-based "computer in a box" was the company's first console in decades and featured a design that was essentially a streamlined version of the Atari 2600.

The larger tragedy is, of course, the job losses and the closure of a studio with a legacy befotting RPG royalty, but it's still sad that next Mass Effect will never come out, and some of the folks who worked on it have begun offering some insight into what the team were hoping to accomplish.
