When
a company falls on a patch of rough times, the first things to go are
usually employees. Such is the case with Atari, where after a dismal
earnings statement, they have decided to cut their global workforce by
20 percent. Furthermore, to recoup some losses, Atari is planning to
sell off a few of their internal game studios. CEO Bruno Bonnell has
been quoted saying that Atari has planned to "refocus our creativity
efforts on external studios, rather than internal development."While this means that studios such as Reflections (known for Driver) and Shiny Entertainment (known for Enter the Matrix: The Path of Neo) will be eventually be shipped off, Bonnell has stressed that all current projects will be finished before the developers are sold.
Lastly, Bonnell said that it will be the US departments that will feel the brunt of the reorganization as there seems to be too many members of the US staff.
