Infogrames attracted Harrison with giant magnet

According to Gardner, the future of Atari and Infogrames rests in the field of online gaming, a risky new venture for the company that Gardner is optimistic Harrison will be able to assist in. In addition to the new online focus, Gardner hopes that the company can continue to attract talent, and aims for a healthy mix of both industry veterans, and fresh young faces hoping to innovate. They better hope that magnet's got a lot of pull left in it, as Atari's messy history is naturally repellent.

regardless how you look at it, it's still a huge demotion on Phil's part.
But hey, whatever makes you happy! Online games? God I hope it's MMO, not online flash games.

Online flash MMO??? That could be the next big market!!
