Last I checked, Atari was having major problems and still owned the Star Control trademarked name. They've been making some headlines recently. I think
Voodoo Extreme VE3D did a good job summarizing them...
Note this one...
Atari cancels projects that do not meet high return on investments.
Here are the rest from the VE article...
* Infogrames shows major losses in their latest fiscal earnings report.
* The Infogrames name gets dropped for Atari, because it's confusing for people and Atari is the more popular, stronger brand.
* President Phil Harrison (ex-SOE) will step down in favour of a non-executive role on the Atari board.
* On the horizon for Atari, Ghostbusters is due out in June.
* Cryptic does the MMO thing with Champions Online and Star Trek Online both in the works.
* Additionally, Cryptic will also be working on new games which are said to be based on Atari's already existing successful IPs.
* Star Trek Online Sort of Dated: Q1 2010.
* Atari cancels projects that do not meet high return on investments.
* Champions Online (PC) set to launch on September 1, 2009.
* Champions Online (X360) expected to release this year.
