The newer VCS is great. I own one and love it for what it is. Obviously Atari is winding it down, which makes sense.
But why throw the baby out with the bath water? Atari OS has value and could port to a future +-series console to give it more depth.

Don’t ever let Trump tell you he’s “renovated” anything. He destroys things and replaces them.
Aside from objectively bad taste, he has no perception of historic value or context.
