      BTW Dis is presumably talking about this:

      "Atari is in a financial crisis and appears to be unable to meet all of its liabilities as they become due. Their principal line of credit has been cancelled and their secured lenders are turning hostile (When the secured creditors are girding for battle - you know it's bad). At the same time, many of their unsecured creditors are going unpaid. This means they have not paid most of their developers the royalties owing to them on published SKUs Atari has sold in previous quarters."
      [/url]

      That, and the fact that Atari has stated that they no longer will be supporting NWN, including no longer permitting any Bioware premium content for said game.

        yeah that, I forgot to link it. .

        I'm a pretty big fan of NWN, so I saw this.

          Probably somebody else will pick up the Atari label.

            It was too late for Atari when infrogrames bought their name.

                  By my calculations this will still be safe.

                  I hope.

                      NWN2 is still being produced by Atari, at the moment anyway.

                      The articles i've read indicated that they intend to get it out this year sometime, so it's safe in that respect.

                      However, whether it meets the fate of M&M:IX is another question

                        Maybe they will sell NWN off before it is due out. Someone else can develope it properly and Atari gets less debt. Win win. For that reason, of course, it won't happen.

                          Selling a nearly finished property doesn't happen often for a reason... the publisher would have nearly no creative control over the property, and would need to run a lot of QC and such ... not to mention freeing up production time on their presses.

                          But it would be a nice hope

                              It looks like they will put NWN2 out in September no matter what condition it's in.
