"ah sweet, another Warner Bros. AU, as if FoxWarner wasn't enough..."
well, let me tell you something…
...this AU is completely different from that one.
So... Atari just so happened to get nuked thanks to the video game crash and its licensed E.T. video game IRL.
and not only did that crash completely destroy many home consoles (the NES didn't come around until 1985), but Warner Communications as well.
and said crash hurt Warner's financial status so bad that they had to sell Warner-AMEX Cable (which comprised MTV, Nickelodeon, VH1, and The Movie Channel) to Viacom and merge with Time Inc. a little bit later to form Time Warner.
but what if that crash didn't happen at all, well, we'd have a completely different media landscape than the one we have now.
