| TheRealMafoo said: to clarify, I am not saying Phil could have made the game good. He could have come in and said. "I am hear to improve Atari's products. Part of that process is to cancel all projects that do not meet the standards of todays games. Sadly, Alone in The Dark is one of those products. THe gaming community deserves better from this company, and I am here to make sure they get it." That right there, would probably make Atari more money in the future then Alone in the Dark releasing will. |
I don't think the gaming community will bear much of a grudge if this game is considered shovelware.
On the other hand, if Phil were to cancel the project outright, well, I think Atari's shareholders might not be very forgiving. Atari isn't in the position where it can throw away money to preserve its reputation in the marketplace. It's not like it has such a fantastic reputation as it is...
