Firaxis and Atari didn't part. Atari parted with the civilization franchise, that's all. They will still publish Pirates!Hmmm... if Firaxis and Atari have parted, who will publish and distribute the new Pirates game?Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – Lessing

This would put them in a position similar to iD or Blizzard, where publishers would cater to THEM to get the game, rather than Atari dictating how things would go. This would likely give them more creative freedom on what goes into the game, as well as a better contract and more money.Originally posted by Alex
if Firaxis bought it, can we expect they feel more comfortable to introduce some new ideas into the series?
So yes, it would be better on the whole for Civ, if you trust Firaxis, of course.

Ned and I agree again!Originally posted by Ned
Well, I am one of those who strongly prefers Alpha Centauri over Civ III. I can only hope that any Civ IV uses some of the features of that game rather than Civ III.
