- The author tried to make Atari look bad--plain and simple.
-
- He brought up stuff like Sega investing millions of millions of
- dollars to promote the Sega Masters system while Atari spent hardly
- any to promote the 7800.
-
- DID IT REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE? Sega wasted money by attempting
- to fight Nintendo. The Sega Masters was a failure.
-
- Of course, if Atari did spend that amount, they may have won the
- law-suit against Nintendo.
-
- We also didn't know EXACTLY what were the reasons behind things
- such as Jack checking to make sure tips didn't exceed a certain amount.
- Maybe people were writing down that they tipped $40 and really
- pocketed the rest? If no one checked, this person could get away
- with it.
-
- I know there are problems at Atari but I think the author had
- something against the company.
