I don’t fault them for selling software, but they need to get their hardware production in order. It shouldn’t take months or years to get these consoles and accessories out the door. I applaud them for their idea, but it feels like I’ve bought into some YouTuber’s vanity comic book Kickstarter campaign. Is the thing ever going to reach my hands or is the producer more concerned with other projects and posting on their Twitter feed?
So Atari has invested in them, but they still seem to have extreme difficulty getting consoles produced and it’s not like their system is cheap. I like the concept, but what good is it if they can’t get the end product out the door?
Who isn’t a politically radical nutcase in the video game industry these days? Have you seen what modern AAA developers and industry journalists post on social media?
So basically if someone can go to a library and check out a game that will destroy the industry? No one will ever buy a rerelease, compilation, or new version? Where have I heard this before?

I guess I don’t understand crowdfunding. If the funds didn’t cover the costs of production then what were they for? Where did they go?

But they still can’t get their hardware out the door and there’s no transparency at all.

Re: Polymega's New System Update Adds Support For "Future Hardware"
Now if only they could actually ship their consoles. They won’t even provide updates after their shipping window passed.
Re: Two Classic Data East Arcade Games Are Joining The Polymega Collection
I wish they’d focus on producing their hardware. They said estimated Q1 2025. Well, it’s almost over and no word yet.

Why do I get the feeling Josh doesn’t find poor quality acceptable when he’s the buyer rather than the seller?
