Company cuts down a number of projects to “improve the cash position”
Atari has cancelled a number of projects as part of its bid to recover from two years of sustained net losses.
The company stated that “to improve the cash position” it will restructure the business and focus on what it considered “more cost-effective” mass-market and online games.
“As such, the Company has cancelled projects which do not meet higher return on investment criteria and require significant working capital investments,” read the company statement.
