If wishes were horses, Atari would be riding them like they’ve never been ridden before (yes I know that sucked). In June, the developer reported it’s earning for its 2006 fiscal year which turned out to be the worst Atari had ever seen, with a loss of nearly 67.1 million USD.
It’s no wonder they sold off their Driver franchise to Ubisoft for 24 million USD and have priced their upcoming MMORacer, Test Drive unlimited at $39.99 , much lower than what next-gen or even current generation games are priced at.
And now it seems the one title that could elevate their situation will be delayed as well. Here’s what Bruno Bonnell, Chairman and CEO of Atari had to say, “We are announcing effectively Alone in the Dark as one of our franchisees for the future, It will be probably the hit of our next year.”
