Cryptic studios no longer part of Atari

Reports have been flying around today that Atari have 'disconunted' Cryptic from there operations.

This potentally could effect what happens with Star Trek Online.

The following was posted on the Star Trek Online forums:

"Right now I have no further details other than what has been mentioned elsewhere. Support for Champions Online and Star Trek Online will be continuing as normal, our staff is working hard on their projects... and there are no planned changes to the way any of our games and projects will operate."

 I like Cryptic as a company and there games have always been enjoyable if a bit dry at times. I hope this also doesn't effect the outcome of Neverwinter Nights as Atari may still hold that licence. Still could mean they change to Hillsfar Ho-down or Phlan Party Palance.
