According to Andriasang's translation, Tecmo Koei sees the Atelier series as a popular IP, and hopes to leverage it in multiple fields. We're guessing it means more mobile games -- at least until Tecmo recoups some of that 22 billion yen.

Your math is off, Joystiq. Andriasang says 22 million *yen*...and 22 billion wouldn't have translated into that price in dollars, anyway (you're a factor of 10 off...).
It actually seems really cheap to me, even considering how small Gust is...
Anyway, now they want to make Atelier social games...Gust is dead.

Yeah, heh... there's a big difference between ¥22 billion and ¥22 million...

I really hope that Gust won't be forced to focus too much on mobile and online games. There are just way too many as it is and the world really doesn't need any more. What could be cool, and I know that I'm the only one thinking this, is there could be an awesome Atelier/Dynasty Warriors game in the works.
The only thing that I guess that I would really be afraid of is if Gust doesn't perform to Tecmo's liking, they could go the way of Bizarre Creations and that company that made Split/Second and be shut down. That would really suck since the Ar Tonelico and Atelier games are so damn good. Here's hoping for the best.
