Mockduck Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 From a press release today on globalnewswire Atari and Liquid Media have announced a partnership to bring Liquid's Slipstream video streaming service to the VCS. The snarky troll in me might retort with something like, "If bringing the 'Netflix of adventure outdoor films" to the VCS is the highlight of your transformative business strategy then maybe your strategy isn't as groundbreaking as you are positioning it. Cool enough I guess.
