Start with "The n^th incarnation of Atari, Inc. [...]"

I liked the idea of mentioning it explicitly like that in the lead sentence, because both companies shared the exact same name and worked in the exact same business. Both leads only drop that there was a prior/later Atari, Inc. further on in the next paragraph, @IceWelder. There is the hatnote, but I figured more people read the lead sentence before the hatnote. —I'llbeyourbeach (talk) 20:10, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article title is already indicative of there being multiple topics of the exact same name, and the respective other entity should already be mentioned somewhere in the lead. An explicit "first/second incarnation" feels a bit superfluous, and nothing comparable is being done in other projects as far as I am aware. It should also be noted that "incarnation" is a bit misleading since the companies having nothing to do with each other than the current company's parent having purchased the former company's trademarks and some IPs.
