Let’s clear the air here and now about myself and Atari Games International!
My name is Genesis Alexander but most who know me just call me Gen or Genny, and I represent a company called Atari Games International. There seems to be a bit of confusion (mainly from another gaming company) about who we are and what we are about. So let me take this time to clear the air once and for all. Firstly, let me clarify by saying we are Atari Games International…THATS IT. This is important to note as we a fully independent gaming company who are in absolutely no way, associated with any other gaming company of a similar sounding name or otherwise. My dream for this company is to create a legacy which will long outlive me and those who seek to disrupt what I am creating or bring me down. I want future generations of young people to have a place where they feel they can be openly creative and take fresh, new ideas and make them a reality. That idea starts with MY company, Atari Games International.
With respect to other companies, I have no interest in nostalgic gaming. I grew up playing games before gaming consoles were created, but naturally as gaming evolved, so did my interest in gaming. As a young boy, I spent untold hours with my friends trolling the shopping mall in Valley Stream, Long Island NY, and would find myself spending hours on the weekend in the dark lit arcade, playing or standing behind someone playing the games of the day. The influencers of the day were the ones who could take down the high scores…learning the cheats and making friends with others who shared the same interest.
I also grew up instilled in me to have a healthy respect for myself and others, and believe that my infallible determination to succeed and never allowed myself to be bullied has always served me well.
I smile often and encourage others to do the same. My philosophy has always been Do what you believe, stay true, be honest, and fight hard.
Atari Games International is mine. And as I started by saying, I don’t ever want my company to be confused with any other company of a similar sounding name or otherwise…We do what we do, and want nothing to do with their business model or product choice. But let me make things clear, I have had bullies who overestimated their intelligence size or strength. Every bully has their weakness. To anyone who thinks their financial might or size of legal team will shut me down, note one thing. If you have ever fought someone who has nothing to lose and everything to fight for before, you’ll learn that real power is unshakable.
Tell a hungry man he cant eat, a thirsty man that he cant drink. I never want to look into my children’s eyes and tell them that their father backed down to anyone out of fear. If anyone out there tries to disrupt what I have worked hard to achieve or acquire, I can promise, that despite the embarrassment of the world finding out what you are trying to do, No one will ever hurt me or what I have worked so hard to achieve without suffering the same fate.
Im a civil man, I smile often and believe there is enough food at this table we call ‘gaming’ for all of us to eat like friends, so let’s be civil and do what we dreamt of…making games, making people smile, and feed our families. My interest is in making games children enjoy. You threw a wild punch and missed, my punch wont. So let’s be friends.
