     Atari have announced they will not be distributing Sega titles here any more. Here's their official line "Atari Australia is no longer distributing titles published by Sega in Australia and New Zealand. This is a mutual commercial decision made by the parties involved." As yet another distributer has not been announced.


WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THEM? There might be a very slight clance THQ will pick up the rights to distributing Sega games here, since they already do with their GBA games... But...... ;__;

POKEMON? POEKMON WITH THE MAN COMES OUT OF THE SPACE SHIP AND HE'S RARR AAAR AARR AR.

Well, if someone else picks up the distributing rights, like maybe, EA, I don't care.  Yeah, I don't like EA, but they DO distribute GC game well in Aussie Land.  You can't get any worse than Atari.  And it's not like they even tried.

And if no one picks up the distributing rights, I'll be a sad panda.

EEEEEK, WTF ;__;

I really really really hope someone like EA picks up the distributing rights.

Or hey, maybe Sega will start publishing their own games here? lol as if

Are Atari gradually trying to destroy the gaming industry? Jesus christ.

They failed the first time about 2 decades ago, remember?

Their previous attempt in recent memory occurred when they released Enter The Matrix.

These people don't seem to give up.

The best part about DRIV3R is Atari Australia is making a huge deal that it was in the number one spot in the sales chart for a whopping four days. Heh, it's a big deal over at their site. They've got TENTS.

I say hand the publishing off to Sega Ozisoft. I have some SO published games for Amiga lying around, a koala was playing pc games on some logo thingy =o

hopefully this will mean that Sammy games will be published better, MORE GGXX PLZ.
