Infogrames was a game company. Infogrames (the parent company) thought it would be wise to rename Infogrames the game company to Atari after buying the licence. Infofgrames the parent company is now just going to make Atari part of them rather than a "games division".

]]> <![CDATA[Atari, Infogrames To Get Merge On]]> Damn I was hoping to be able to come in here and make an Altered Beast reference but BOOM, HEADSHOT! - Captain Impulse snaked it right at the jump. Well played sir!

]]> <![CDATA[Atari, Infogrames To Get Merge On]]> @Krackatoa: I don't think so, because I distinctly remember back when RollerCoaster Tycoon was a major PC title and Infogrames was its own company. They released RCT and RCT2, then were bought out by Atari and RCT3 was published under the Atari label. I even remember the message boards switching over to Atari, yet they somehow neglected to actually get rid of old members because I can still log in to the Atari forums using my SN that I used back when RCT was the big shot game that got this whole Tycoon thing started.

]]> <![CDATA[Atari, Infogrames To Get Merge On]]> @armchairnixon sees you doing that thing there...: Actually, I'm pretty sure Infogrames bought the rights to the Atari label long ago and started their own gaming... thing that was exclusively used for putting out those crappy Atari Arcade Classic games that plagued us for the past decade. They're essentially the Kings of Shovelware and Atari is their fallen from grace loveslave that suffers from disfiguring scars and seepage due to overuse and sucking too hard when it came to financing good projects.

@TheWP: Lol.

]]> <![CDATA[Atari, Infogrames To Get Merge On]]> So, let me get this straight: First, Atari buys out Infogrames, then Atari goes down the proverbial shit-hole, and Infogrames (a company already owned by Atari) plans to buy out their parent company in order to bring them back into the green.

Am I right?

]]> <![CDATA[Atari, Infogrames To Get Merge On]]> Am I the only one who actually got excited when I saw this, based solely on the fact that Infogrames was the original developer for Alone in the Dark? :/

Visho

]]> <![CDATA[Atari, Infogrames To Get Merge On]]> Wait I thought they were already 1 company. I mean do sent Infogrames pretty much own Atari now? or something like that?

Ruisu

]]> <![CDATA[Atari, Infogrames To Get Merge On]]> I thought Infogrames was already part of Atari.

Maybe if they make Phil Harrison the new CEO...

]]> <![CDATA[Atari, Infogrames To Get Merge On]]> Awe man... this company just seems to be getting more and more ghetto by the day :(

]]> <![CDATA[Atari, Infogrames To Get Merge On]]> Infogrames, the most misspelled gaming coming around!

LittleBigPlaneteer

]]> <![CDATA[Atari, Infogrames To Get Merge On]]> I'm disappointed. I hoped in the press release it actually would have "Bagel Mondays" in the terms of the aggreement.

TheWP

]]> <![CDATA[Atari, Infogrames To Get Merge On]]> Bagel Mondays?

Damn, I'd change jobs for that. To get AWAY from the bagels, that is.

Will be interesting to see what comes out of this though. Unfortunately, I can't think of a great game either company released in recent years.
