    I wonder if anyone received that email and swarmed the site for clues, thinking it was an Alternate Reality Game teasing a future unannounced project.

    Why would you hack Atlus? Surely there are other companies more deserving. :(

    @Bialia ಠ_ಠ:


    1. They release very few copies of their good games, which then become so hard to find that the prices on eBay are doubled.


    2. They release their worst games with the best cover art, tricking millions of hopeful children and retard starfishes named Patrick into buying them. I call this "the Atlus effect".


    3. Their hardcore fanbase. You know the ones. The fat wapanese guys. The "Persona is so deep" guys. The "The PS2 isn't dead! I'm playing this Atlus game!" guys. They are all terrible people.


    While I'm not a "fatlus", I do enjoy some of their games. Not all though. Not even most.

    @Bialia ಠ_ಠ: Actually, I can think of few more deserving of a hack attack than Atlus.


    I mean, isn't that the point? To destroy something beautiful?


    They seem to have a very devoted following and very few people hate them for any legitimate reason other than "They have a strong base of fans made up of people I dislike" or people who expect them to release as many copies of their games as Square Enix or Electronic Arts does, as if there is conspiracy going on that they want to limit their own profits.

    @Bialia ಠ_ಠ:

    Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Namco-Bandai, Square-Enix, Sega, and any of those companies that ONLY publish shovelware.


    Different reasons for each of those companies up there... But, more or less, pretty much every major publisher has something about them I dislike.


    ... Except Capcom. I can't find a reason to hate Capcom. :)

    This is obviously some kind of subliminal messaging for the Shin Megami Tensei series!

    That's shitty. I like Atlus' games, and the company in general. They're like the cool kid in high school that's friends with everyone and always brings in the weirdest, but greatest stuff that everyone loves.


    Why hack Atlus, though?

    Well its possibly they confused it with an international society bent on world domination named A.T.L.U.S. but that would be silly...


    Good plot for an Atlus game... not really no...
