I sure hope Atlus is doing good, and this is just to streamline everything. They are one of the few publishing the niche titles I need. Yes, need not want.
Atlus being absorbed, though its name shall remainNow, now. It's not as bad as it sounds. Atlus, everyone's favorite Catherine developer/publisher, isn't being dismantled or shut down, but rather being merged into its parent company, Index Holdings, which purchased Atlus back in 2006. The move is designed to increase efficiency and allow for better use of group resources. Besides Atlus, Index Holdings are also the masters of Index, a mobile game development outfit (connection to Persona 3 Social?), and anime studio MADHOUSE, who made Highschool of the Dead, Death Note, and like a billion other shows. Representatives said that for the time being games will be continue to be released under the Atlus brand. That's good since, as an Atlus fanboy, I've been conditioned to open my wallet whenever I see its logo. Did you know?

I sure hope Atlus is doing good, and this is just to streamline everything. They are one of the few publishing the niche titles I need. Yes, need not want. Companies merge all the time. I doubt this means anything since they already had been purchased four years ago already. The company will now be called "4tlus and I-Holdings" and will sell Chuggies in an attempt to compete with "7 and i-holdings" and the Slurpee. I know it ain't happening, but if Atlus went away I'd cry. How else would I impulse buy games by seeing the Atlus name on the box and saying "I MUST HAVE IT NOW" Good for the merge! NOW MAKE DEMONS SOULS 2!!!!!! or at least a game with the same concept. That game was so fun. 6:00 PM on 06.18.2013 Septentriones beware!
