Mr.Mumbles: Funny you should say that because there's also this Atari VCS... thing. ;) Basically it's just an AMD-based mini PC running Linux in a Atari console-like shell.
As long as the price is right and that's what you want, sure.
That seems quite cheap, for comparison ResetEra was sold for 4 millions. I know these two websites have very different profiles but still I would assume biggest existing video games database is worth more than "mere" 1.5 million. But on the other hand, despite being biggest video games database MG somehow never got much recognition and seems kinda niche even in gaming world.
Oh no, Mobygames.. and by (fake) Atari, which doesn't exactly have a good reputation nowadays : (

what's wrong with atari these days?
I mean I know the latest retro remakes on epic tried to get me to give information on their own website so they can mine data; (but seeing as it was a throwaway account with no real data), but the games seemed to work pretty smoothly with a controller though didn't have the same feel as the originals.
I mean I don't think they've gone full re#@rd like blizzard with online only constant drm.

For example they embraced NFTs -_-'

And the new VCS costs 400$ for a bunch of primitive games..
(but it looks sleek at least)

It is not Atari. Basically what happend is that Atari got into a lot of economic problems after the game chrash in the mid 80's. which resulted in being bought by Hasbro. Infogrames bought Hasbro in 2001, and kind of quietly winded the whole thing down, just using the brand on some of the games they produced. Then in 2009/2010 Infogrames changed their name into Atari.

So the Atari of old no longer exist, and the Atari of today is bascally Infogrames. Today Atari has gone into partnershi with ICICB Group, which is a finicial company based out of Dubai specialising crypto currency, hedge funds, Blockchain etc. Atari has given ICICB Group a license to create a new gaming platform (not much detail) which is supposed to be financed comepletly by Blockcain and Cryptocurrency. we must wait and see what that really is, though, but expect a lot of NFTs.
