Atari? You mean Infogrames?
During their fiscal year meeting (May 2009), IESA announced that it would be changing its corporate name to an Atari branded name, in line with the use of the name for its subsidiaries. In reference to this, Atari, Inc.'s CEO Jim Wilson said: “We’ve gotten rid of the Infogrames and Atari duality, the confusion around that. We are one simplified company, under one management team, under one brand.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_SA#Rebranding_to_Atar…

Modern Atari is not Atari. Its Infogrames with stolen valor.

What has Atari done that’s relevant anymore, besides just releasing their retro games for the millionth time?

I don't think this is a good thing. Atari didn't prove themselves in the recent years, so my trust is shaken. Also taking the company Digital Eclipse from the free market is concerning, because they did awesome jobs with restoration of older games for other companies. Will Atari allow them to work on other projects? And what is the goal here? Does Atari only sell their old stuff and do not produce new games? And if Atari fails, then will Digital Eclipse be resolved into nothing?
I'm worried for Digital Eclipse, because that's an awesome game house I do not want to lose in the gaming industry.

There's always Code Mystics, comprised of most of the old guard from Digital Eclipse in the 1990s and 2000s.
