IxDA Seattle 🍿 Movie Club – Atari: Game Over

Join IxDA Seattle for Movie Club, where we watch and discuss a design related movie or documentary. This month, we'll be watching Atari: Game Over.

This story of the death of a company, and is a great watch for user experience professionals who want to learn valuable lessons.

The documentary tells the tale of Atari, who in a mere decade went from the fastest growing company in the US to bankruptcy and dissolution. How? It all has to do with making a video game that flopped, and rushing digital products through production without listening to users along the way.

💎 You can watch the film for free and at your own convenience prior to the event here, or you can bring your popcorn and watch it with us.
