Positive outcomes:
Altus is left totally alone.
Atlus games start showing up on PC.
Atlus USA is allowed to localize some major Sega games that Sega themselves haven't.
Negative outcomes:
Atlus USA is dissolved by the end of the year because having two localization companies is seen as redundant.
Sega gets their mitts on some of the SMT properties with "ideas".
Going with #1, we see a drastic decline on BOTH niche and major Atlus platforms(at best, not translated; at worst, nothing at all).
Am I missing any on either side here?
At any rate, how am I going to treat this? With bated breath and to wait and see what they do about Atlus USA. That will probably say all that needs to be said in terms of which of the above outcomes we're getting...
