This is it. This is the end. Not of Atari, but of the last crap that is pre-Harrison. From now on, we can assume that most or all games made by Atari are Harrison approved; they're going the social gaming route.

Phil will right this ship, I have faith.

 

Didn't he become President on March 3rd? This one falls on his shoulders, sorry.

 

Yeah, b/c in 3 months Phil had plenty of time to make this game great. He sucks. I wish he'd have left Sony earlier so we wouldn't get stuff like LittleBigPlanet....

 

He could have postponed it for a year, or canceld it all together. All I am saying is if you think this game sucking is Atari's fault, you can excempt the man runing the company. It comes with the job.

 

Neither of the two options you presented are at all financially feasible. It's pretty well-known Atari is in dire financial straits. Delaying the game would only cost more money and cancelling the game three months away from launch after 2 and 1/2 years of time and money have been invested in the game is ridiculous. The fact of the matter is that Phil Harrison oversaw a tiny fraction of the development of this game. By your logic, the guy should be fired for his handling of the game.
