Atari Gets A New Money Man

By Owen Good on September 16, 2009 at 11:00 AM

Atari found its new chief financial officer from TheLadders.com. Not that they went literally advertising on the service, which promises careers paying more than $US100,000 annually. They got the guy who was its veep for finance.

Philip Veneziano, say hello to a customer base even more finicky and prone to complaint than high-strung white collar workers: the video gamer. In a statement announcing his arrival, Veneziano said Atari faces “a tremendous opportunity to gain market share”.

In a way, it already is. Atari also announced its first quarter revenue grew 30% compared to 2008, attributed to two factors: Ghostbusters: The Video Game, and the fact Atari published about zero titles in the preceding year.

    They also did not tell anyone that they changed the metal batarangs to plastic ones. Never again will I buy anything with Atari’s name on it
