Well, they did just recently release a console in like, 2016 or 2018 I think. I dont think it was very good or widely recieved, but they did do it! Not just a remake either an entirely new system that plays new games check it out on their website. You can run Linux on it

Not really. Infogrames is wearing the skin and parading around pretending they are Atari. Its like that Russian guy that thinks he's Napoleon.

I bet this is about the 1980 game.

That's what I assumed. I wonder if it would impact games using the term "Rogue-like".

It’s doubtful this will hold up in court. If nothing else, I could see any other video game company challenging the trademark because they might want to use the term in the future.
