Disclaimer : I'm a shareholder.
Atari is now owned by French video games company Infogrames which renamed itself as Atari, and it is publicly listed. They bought back all of the liquidated american brands and since 2013 they've done a ton of work to get it out of debt (which is now done).
So, they effectively own pretty much all of the original IP and brand, it's just that the company is a rebirth with a new staff and new ambitions. Mostly, they work through partnerships, with little in-house dev, kind of like what a movie producer would work with a few movies licences.
- JohnFen 7y agoCorrect. Which means, as smolder said, the Atari we all remember and love is long gone. The Atari that exists now is nothing but a brand.
