cogadh: I would still call Atari one of the three bigs. They may have gotten out of developing anything other than MMOs (thanks to buying Cryptic), but they still publish all kinds of games. Between all the different studios and IPs the company has absorbed over the years, and now its partial ownership by Namco Bandai, Atari has access to an enormous library of published games that easily places it among the top three publishers in the business.
Zeewolf: Well, you could call them that, but... you'd be wrong. They're tiny. :-)
They don't even publish games in Europe any more, Namco Bandai took over their entire publishing business.
It still doesn't change the fact that Atari, like EA and Activision, has one of the longest histories and largest libraries in the gaming industry. When you think of the big publishers in the
entire history of PC gaming (not just what they are today), the top three have to be EA, Activision and Atari; they are the only ones that have been here since the beginning and are still around. None of them are the same company they were at the beginning, but they all still have plenty to offer GOG. However, if you look at who is more likely to get involved with GOG, we all know Kotick's ActiBlizzard will never settle for the pricing scheme, EA has been softening to the whole DRM thing and has had some financial issues of late, so they have potential, but who is a shadow of its former self, is desperate for revenue and only has its old library to offer as a means of producing capital?
Atari. Strictly from that perspective alone, despite the fact that I really want it to be LucasArts, I'd have to put my money on Atari coming to GOG.
