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.
