dollopx Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 Just a short, non - spaming question about the Atari.Com url. There was a thread runing last week pointing out that Atari is now owned by Infogrames, and that Infogrames intends to rename itself Atari, if so then why does Hasboro still own / operate (poorly) the Atari.Com url?

Mindfield Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 They probably own the URL and likely will 'til it's up for renewal, at which point Infogrames will undoubtedly snap it up. I doubt Mattel has even touched that page in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollopx Posted June 20, 2001 Author Share Posted June 20, 2001 Hmmm, interesting theory. Thanks for helping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wntermute Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Actually, if I remember correctly.. the Atari.com domain is owned by Hasbro Interactive, which is now a part of Infogrames. The process of combining company assets, Information Systems & Public Relations departments (which would both have a say in an Internet presence), and other corporate-level rigamarole is what's holding up a site overhaul at Atari.com, HasbroInteractive.com, AND Infogrames.com. In fact, if you look on all three of those sites, you won't see a mention of the PalmOS games that were noted in the news here a few days ago.
