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... Ēn
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:

That's barely survived lol, like what happened with Sega ( or i say Sega is still more productive then Atari honestly ).
But what happen was lack of competition at that time, over monopoly from their part, and lack innovation and leading to their own downfall.

They still survived :P
Didn't the entire industry collapse because:
-Crap 3rd party games
- ^went into full effect after there were overhyped,overproduced, underdeveloped and crap 1st party games (ET,Pacman)
-Competition from PCs
-Once people understood that they were buying crap they stopped buying it. And then the Domino effect started.
Or something like that...

Yup agree with what you said there, most of the reason you write is actually true, and even if they want, other company already had a plan to take their positions, maybe we could say Nintendo can even exist even without the downfall of Atari, or even Sega or Sony or the closest one Microsoft and Apple
Just think that technology bring more inovations and competion, and market and demand keep growing and growing, i guess that's the law of the nature in economy.
