Atari has decided to curtail the production of the Atari VCS console. In a recent financial report, she said that she refused the device because of its low demand. However, the company is ready to sell the license for the production of Atari VCS to third-party firms.

Atari is a brand familiar to any video game fan. The company, which had a huge impact on the industry in the seventies, was on the verge of bankruptcy five years ago. Now all the difficulties are in the past. Atari has taken up game development again and even announced a new console. CEO Frederic Chesnais told VentureBeat about the company’s plans.

Atari has quarreled with the technology publication The Register after the material about its future product — the Atari VCS console. According to Atari, The Register journalist distorted the words of the company’s representatives and outlined personal speculation instead of objective first-hand data. In response, The Register published an audio recording of the conversation confirming the initial allegations.

A day after the start of the crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, eight thousand backers pre-ordered the console Atari Video Computer System or its accessories.
