  • Annual Results 2020/2021
    ANNUAL RESULTS 2020/2021 A transition year and implementation of a new strategy allying premium games, Atari VCS, Blockchain/NFTs and Licensing Press release - Paris, France - August 16, 2021 - 07:00pm - During its meeting on August 16, 2021, Atari SA’s Board of Directors reviewed the preliminary financial estimates for the year ended March 31, 2021 and authorized its disclosure. The audit procedures for the consolidated accounts are in the process of being finalized, however they still require certain verifications by the statutory auditors, notably regarding the transactions in digital assets, NFTs and tokens. Furthermore, in the context of the evolution of the current strategy, the budget for 2021/2022 is under review. The finalization of this budget may impact the fair value attributed to R&D costs for free-to-play mobile games capitalized on the balance sheet, depending on the continued exploitation, discontinuation or sale of these games. All these options are currently being examined. Under these conditions, the annual financial report will be published during the month of September 2021, once the work of the statutory auditors is completed, following the verification of the management report and its notes and the conclusion of all the required diligence measures. With the appointment of Wade Rosen as CEO in April 2021, the Group has undertaken an in-depth review of the business. As a result, the Company will implement a new strategy focused on the development of premium games and cash flow generation. This strategic evolution has prompted the Group to increase selectivity for its projects, halt investments in certain free-to-play games while exploring their divestment, and to wind down Atari’s operations in Africa.

  • Innovation in the Video Game Industry: the Role of Nintendo
    Department of Business and Management Course of Managerial Decision Making Innovation in the video game industry: the role of Nintendo Prof. Luigi Marengo Prof. Luca De Benedictis SUPERVISOR CO-SUPERVISOR Fulvio Nicolamaria ID No.705511 CANDIDATE Academic Year 2019/2020 To those who belong to my past, that have made me what I am and to those who belong to my present, who give me the strength to advance 2 Foreword Writing a paper with the gaming industry as one of the main themes may seem, in the eyes of the reader that is not properly involved in the subject, as something atypical and far from the academic conception of what should be debated in a thesis. However, in a work that concerns Economics, even an industry dedicated solely to entertainment like that one of video game can be an interesting challenge. Moreover, each thesis should aim to develop researches on new topics and to process the results. What better way to do this if not by exploring overlooked fields of research? The idea of a work involving Nintendo company as the main topic was among the possible research options, and choosing it as the theme to conclude the Master Degree was the goal I had proposed to myself for a long time. The involvement of the subject of innovation comes from the belief of its importance; since these two themes, innovation and Nintendo, could be easily combined, it was natural to create this work in some way dual. Making available to any reader topics so far from usual ones, without sacrificing the academic character of the paper, was both a challenge and a target.
