The name Atari isn't a "status symbol", it is a legend. If I call myself "Hercules", it doesn't make me stronger. That's the single most retarded idea I've ever heard. Leave it to the french-- wait until somebody else has made something great, then step in and try to take credit. I doubt you could find enough balls among them to even manage a good game of Pong.

Hi.. did you per chance read the article?
Infogrames has owned Hasbro Interactive for a while now. Hasbro Interactive = Atari. The Atari name holds a lot more "oomph" than the name Infogrames. It's a good business deceision, so don't turn this into some anti-french thing. If you really want to talk about the pinnacle of Atari's greatness you're going to have to go back to the early 80's. Let's not get selective memories and even begin to think that Atari has put out anything than utter crap in lthe last 10 years. There may have been some gems here and there, but mostly all of their products from 1990 on have been junk or rehashes of their classic games. Infogrames has always had a fine tradition of putting out crap.. so this is a natural transition for them.
