The name IP has been sold off between various companies. The company that made Quake ended up buying the rights and renaming itself Atari.
It is similar to how Cingular Wireless bought the name AT&T and remained itself to AT&T.
id software made Quake. They have not renamed themselves Atari. Whatchu talking about.
AT&T is actually Cingular now? I did not know that. Sheesh.
The name was bought by a new company, just like Polaroid.
Unless it is cheap I am not sure if this will do well. I do not get the appeal.
