? Atari’s “playable hotel” plans in Phoenix are giving me major bad-vibes. A gaming resort with an esports venue, a sportsbook, nightlife… and an investment push? Yeah—this is one of those ideas that sounds “bold” on paper but feels messy (and risky) the closer you look. ??? In this episode of Bit By Bit, I break down what’s been revealed so far, why it doesn’t sit right with me, and what I think this could mean for Atari’s brand (and retro fans) if it goes sideways. Then we wrap up with more retro news you don’t want to miss! ??? ? Sound off in the comments: Would you actually stay at an Atari Hotel… or is this a hard pass? ? Like • ? Comment • ?
