Atari Loses Another $12 Million...

Atari

Grab That Piggy Bank!

Atari finally filed their delayed financial report for the quarter ending June 30 and laid out the bad news that they're down another $12 million. The company already sold most of its franchises like Stuntman and Driver; they're also in a dispute about potentially losing their Dragon Ball Z license as well. According to the quarterly report Atari states "substantial doubt about [their] ability to continue as a going concern."

The loss of the Dragonball Z license, would also lead to the loss of Atari's successful "DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi" franchise. Hopefully they can start shelling out some better games soon, or else.

What they get for just churning out updated versions of the same games over and over. Also their choice to keep making PS2 games instead of getting with the times and making games for the current Gen systems seems to be coming back to bite them in the ***. If they sold the rights to DBZ (might be good for gamers and fans if better studio gets rights) but would probably be final nail in Ataris coffin.

Yeah, DBZ is pretty much their best selling franchise to date. If they sell the rights to that, and fail to supply gamers with good games.. then they might as well hang up their gear, and hit the road.
