    According to an article in Financial Times, Infogrames, whose US subsidiary is Atari, is going to reduce the percentage of PC games from 25% to 20%. A year ago it was 35%, so we have every right to expect further progress in this falling tendency. However, they're also going to focus on Dungeons and Dragons and since they aren't going to abandon the PC sector altogether perhaps we will still hear from them in the future. Here's a snip:

    Mr Bonnell said he plans to cut the number of releases by 20 per cent to enable Infogrames to invest more in its main franchises such as Dungeons and Dragons and Dragon Ball Z. "Why bother having 20 per cent more titles when they don't reach the threshold of profitability?" he asked.

    Sales of games for PCs, which represented 35 per cent two years ago, should fall from a quarter to a fifth this year although Mr Bonnell said he wanted to remain in the market, which could benefit from the future take-off of online gaming.

    Read the rest at Financial Times.
