Atari Jaguar STuff per Don Thomas...

I would like to mention my appreciation for the support many of you
expressed regarding incorrect information published by some IGO
(Intelligent Gaming On-Line) staff members.  By now, it should be
obvious that IGO's portrayal of "massive" layoffs at Atari as well as
any less commitment to the Jaguar platform is simply not true.  I am
prepared to believe that IGO felt their data was coming from a
reliable source.  I am, however, disappointed that they were eagerly
prepared to stand by the integrity of the information without making
any attempts I know of to verify the reports.  I hope that on-line
subscribers recognize when they are being exploited while they seek a
reliable source of genuine and accurate news.

In my six plus years employment at Atari, I have never witnessed the
doors being locked to employees.  I have also never heard of anyone
being told they could never return.  Furthermore, I have frequently
seen ex-employees stop in to see friends or conduct new business.

As one of many, many dedicated Atari employees, I was personally
disappointed by IGO's attempts to sensationalize events at Atari.  I
hope that they might do a much better job to substantiate reports they
receive in the future.

'Nough said.  --DT
