Atlus' Parent Company Files For Bankruptcy | Siliconera
So, what does this mean? I just now heard about this, so I thought I fill in the forums here about it.
Does nobody read my smurfing threads?
Oh, I'm sorry. I just looked at the thread titles and didn't see that your last thread was about this. :P
When have I ever made a thread title that you could gleam the topic out of it?
It's only after the realization of my topic does the title make sense. You should know this by now!
Square Enix acquires them, you heard it here first
So long as they stand back and leave the designers the smurf alone to do their thing, which seemed to be the case with titles like Arkham (I could be wrong there), then I don't imagine it would turn out badly. :p
Square only published the first one through Eidos, but it was really kind of co-published with Warner Bros. who handled publishing the sequels themselves. A better example would probably be games like Deus Ex and Tomb Raider which were developed by Square owned companies, but they didn't seem to meddle too much with them and let them do their own thing.Quote:

Personally, I thought 'The greatest games - A Personal list of Neocracker~' was a pretty easy to understand thread title.. And 'Remember Me'.. And 'Jackie Chan Adventures'.. And 'E3 live reactions thread'...Quote:

This is very, very unsettling news. Atlus is one of the best current RPG makers, in my opinion. I do hope they can either strike out on their own, or get picked up by someone who will let them continue their work, at the quality they are known for.
Someone should make a "Save Atlus" kickstarter or something.

Edit: Well, the US branch yeah, but regardless I doubt a kickstarted would help at all.
Wait, was that on the part of Atlus, or it's parent company?Quote:

Mind you, even if something happened to the Parent company, saving Atlus USA wouldn't really matter in terms of games, as Atlus USA just publishes, and all the Shin MEgami Titles are made in house over at Atlus Japan. :p
