I find it really amusing that Atari still exists somehow yet their current iteration has absolutely nothing to do with the original one founded by Nolan Bushnell

Nintendo started as a card game company in the 19th century and was in the motel-for-prostitution bussiness in the 70s. Your point?

They don't really exist anymore, they're just a brand that's been bought and sold. The Atari of today can't even be called a Ship of Theseus, it is more like if the Ship sank and somebody bought a new boat and painted Ship of Theseus on the side.

Alright Nintendo Fellas, I'll admit, that's pretty cool.

Is not the human body the best example for this? iirc every X years, your body is full of new cells, all the old ones have died already.

You think companies never change? Do you know literally nothing whatsoever about business? Why did you feel this was important to share with us? What an utterly stupid, pointless thread.

Yes. It's a philosophical thought experiment to show that (logical) identity is not dependent on material circumstances

This literally happens all the time. In Atari's case the name is so ingrained in people's collective memories, so they kept it for marketing reasons.

they don't exist. only their name exists. it's like trying to claim that "Commodore" still exists, even though the name was bought by italian failures that sell junk under that name.

yes, they do. because IT'S NOT THE SAME ATARI, you stupid cunt.

That's exactly the point. The company certainly has changed. Some might argue that it's literally a completely different company now, with literally zero relation to the original save for the name.
