Atari announces investment in tinyBuild

PARIS, FRANCE (December 21, 2023 - 8.30 am CET) - Atari® — one of the world's most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — today announced it has entered into an agreement with tinyBuild, Inc (“tinyBuild”) to invest US$2 million as part of tinyBuild’s announced capital increase.

Wade Rosen, Chairman and CEO of Atari commented: “tinyBuild is an amazing company, with industry leading games and benefiting from an expansive fan base. Atari is excited to participate in the current capital transaction as tinyBuild’s approach to the indie games market is in line with Atari’s long-term approach.”

We are pleased to welcome Atari as a strategic investor of tinyBuild. Atari is a timeless brand and its support validates the current strategic plan for tinyBuild,” said Alex Nichiporchik, CEO of tinyBuild.

tinyBuild announced on December 21, 2023 its intention to proceed with a US$14 million capital increase by means of the issue of new common shares. The announced capital increase by tinyBuild and Atari’s participation remain conditional on certain approvals of tinyBuild shareholders at a meeting which is intended to take place on January 18, 2024. Following the shareholders approval, and completion of the capital raise, Atari will hold approximately 7.5% of tinyBuild share capital1.

Iconic video game brand Atari hands $2m lifeline to struggling game studio Tinybuild​

Atari will take $2 million worth of shares and CEO Alex Nichiporchik $10 million in a deal that should keep the studio afloat

Iconic games console brand Atari is set to take a $2 million stake in struggling video game developer Tinybuild, as part of a $14 million funding deal that should keep the studio afloat.

The funding is much-needed after Tinybuild revealed a combination of court settlements and poor sales from a business it had acquired meant that it could run out of cash by the end of January.

Today, it said French firm Atari SA will take a stake in the business in the 5p-per-share offer. Tinybuild’s CEO Alex Nichiporchik is also injecting $10 million as part of the deal, while another $2.2 million of shares will be made available in an open offer. Depending on the results of the open offer, the deal could give Nichiporchik more than 50% of TinyBuild’s shares and voting rights. Given the increase in his voting rights, the deal must be approved by shareholder vote.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
