In a recent interview, the CEO of Atari, Wade Rosen, elaborated on the strategic acquisition of Thunderful, emphasizing the significance of establishing a strong presence in Europe. Rosen believes that having a European base is crucial for Atari's growth and expansion in the global gaming market. He highlighted that the acquisition aligns with Atari's ongoing evolution, which seeks to transcend its retro gaming roots and embrace innovative game development.
