Verdict

• This goal is ambitious and achievable, provided Atari establishes solid partnerships with its competitors. In 2021, Atari switched its strategy away from mobile free-to-play games to online casino and premium gaming.
• Although team leaders are experts in business law and finances, there is still much to learn. We don’t know other team members behind Atari Chain. The website is not up to date since 2020 and there is no roadmap.
• ATRI belongs to the category of small market capital coins. These have the most potential for value growth.
• If the Atari community does not vote to lock almost 10% ATRI tokens, there is still the possibility of ATRI’s value dropping.
• Atari Token’s corporate support might make ATRI more resilient, but ATRI must first address transparency concerns in order to be a sustainable investment.
