Transcription :

NB : I'm not hearing the translation.
Chairman : Okay here is the translation. So he has two questions: one
is, ATARI went down now, out of the news just came out. So what do you
think about this ? So is there anything to say ? The second one is : in
all the times, what's the game you think is most interesting ?
NB : Oh the ATARI BK (bankruptcy) think of it as a chess move. Very
very important to get ATARI corporately cleaned up. ATARI for the last
10 years has been a mess. It was pulled into Infogrames which was a
mess. Infogrames had the ability to borrow massive amounts of money, and
throw it away. They bought products, couldn't integrate it. I mean it
was like, they buy company after company, and in a year and half after
they bought it, there would be none of the people there, that were left.
All the developers would have left, all the engineers would have left,
all the graphic artists would have left, and they would be left with an
attorney. That's not a good way to run a business. In any way, so, the
company had just piles of debts, and as all people find that, after a
while, if you keep piling up debt, and you want to borrow more, people
will say "no". And so now bankruptcy cleans that up. It will divorce it
from the French parents, and I think that the stage will be set for the
ATARI brand to rise again. And I'm hopeful that I can be part of that.

NB : Je n'entends pas la traduction.
Chairman : Bon, voici la traduction. Il a donc deux questions : l'une
est, ATARI a coul=E9 maintenant. Ce sont les nouvelles qui viennent de
sortir, alors qu'en pensez-vous ? Y a-t-il quelque chose =E0 dire ? La
seconde est : de tous les temps, quel est le jeu que vous pensez =EAtre
le plus int=E9ressant ?
NB : Oh l'ATARI BK (faillite) pensez-y comme un coup d'=E9checs. Il est
tr=E8s tr=E8s important que ATARI fasse le m=E9nage dans l'entreprise. AT=
ARI
au cours des 10 derni=E8res ann=E9es a =E9t=E9 un g=E2chis. Il a =E9t=E9 =
pouss=E9 dans
Infogrames qui =E9tait un g=E2chis. Infogrames avait la capacit=E9 d'empr=
unter
des sommes massives d'argent, et de le jeter. Ils ont achet=E9 des
produits, et n'ont pas pu les int=E9grer. Je veux dire c'=E9tait comme, i=
ls
ach=E8tent entreprise apr=E8s entreprise, et un an et demi apr=E8s l'avoi=
r
achet=E9e, il n'y aurait plus personne l=E0-bas, qui y restait. Tous les
d=E9veloppeurs l'auraient quitt=E9, tous les ing=E9nieurs seraient partis=
,
tous les graphistes seraient partis, et ils seraient rest=E9s avec un
avocat. Ce n'est pas une bonne fa=E7on de g=E9rer une entreprise. De tell=
e
mani=E8re que, l'entreprise n'avait que des monceaux de dettes, et comme
tout le monde s'en aper=E7oit, au bout d'un moment, si vous continuez =E0=

accumuler des dettes et que vous voulez emprunter davantage, les gens
diront "non". Et donc maintenant la faillite nettoie cela. Il va
divorcer des parents fran=E7ais, et je pense que le d=E9cor sera plant=E9=

pour que la marque ATARI se rel=E8ve =E0 nouveau. Et j'esp=E8re que je
pourrai faire partie de cela.

Comme quoi, il faut porter une grande attention =E0 cette parole ...
