This is fucking bullshit, people are developing for their hardware after several decades, and this is how they treat 'em? Seriously, fuck that.

They were dicks for quite some time anyway, especially considering that the former founder (who's back at the board) once claimed that locking our computers out would "solve" the industry's "problems" (http://beardseye.blogspot.com/2008/07/encryption-chip-will-not-end-piracy.html), blaming said "problems for their recent games being shit (http://yro.slashdot.org/story/08/06/22/1855204/Atari-Tries-To-Supress-Bad-Reviews-Claims-Piracy), and targeting non-games as if they were the cause of said "problems" (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7697898.stm).

I'm not sure if EA, Activision, Capcom or even fucking Ubisoft come even close in terms of d-baggery. What a way to destroy the brand name indeed.
