Atari to file for Bankruptcy - [Up: Something done with shares, got some money again!]

Here's something none us were NOT expecting but is their plan to do this in order to breakaway from their parent a good idea? Could it be that the dodgy decision making, the abysmal customer service and operations, the lack of info and the let's face it completely horrid method of running a business over the past number of years all down to those in France?

 

Yeah sure. :rolleyes:

Why don't they just call the US division Atari Mobile and get on with the rest of the operations in making games that sell. I mean spend money to make money and if that doesn't work simply file for bankruptcy and start again. Isn't that the business methodology these days?

Wouldn't go that far as it's still people's jobs remember, plus if you read more articles about this you can see they are basically trying to split and create a mobile and web based company which again reading around seems to show potential promise for this aspect for the company. It's bit funny them wanting to split when times are getting rough but lapping it all up when things were going relatively well.

Just had a great thought! *doesn't happen often*

 

Imagine the ultimate irony, this being that if rumours are to be believed that Ivory-Tower (Ivory) are working on an open world driving game and that Ubisoft is somewhat involved, that Ubi buys the TEST DRIVE name and titles Ivory's game with it.© That would be such poetic justice don't you think! :D

Atari never dies. Some relatively unheard of publisher will just rebrand themselves to invoke nostalgia like infogrames did. (See: how many companies have called themselves 'commodore'

 

Hopefully the license for test drive goes to someone competent.
