Simple-ish question. I demand answers!!!!1

Atari should've had control over 3rd party titles and should've let games be finished for release. I think that if the latter happened maybe people would've seen that almost everything not made by Atari or Activision is **** and shovelware would be nonexistent, and thus they would've lived happily ever after... ƒín

While we all know that the industry is going to crash again in 2016 and in 2018 Atari will release the 6900, thus starting a new gaming empire that will last 1000 generations, i am wondering how that domination could have come sooner. What do you think? Was Atari doomed from the start? Or did they have a chance to save themselves?

 are they surviving with their company?

Yes they are. They recently filed for bankruptcy just so that they can seperate from Infogrames (i think). They still have the rights to games like Asteroids,Pong,Missle Command and Roller Coaster Tycoon. Just go to their website:
