Oh noooooooooooooooooo
I think Atlus is likely to survive, but I'm worried that if they are purchased it will be by a company that won't allow them to creatively thrive like they have been.
Assuming they are sold off, who would be the possible buyers and which would be the best fit? Square-Enix? Marvelous? Namco-Bandai? I'm basically just tossing out names here.
dang, i hope it doesnt affect the release of Dragon's Crown.
hopefully things goes well for Atlus (obviously not looking good).

Also, I'm fairly sure this has more to do with Atlus' parent company, Index, than it does with Atlus as a developer/publisher.
Bingo on both accounts, Index has been looked into for quite a while for some shady shit haven't they?
Square-Enix, perhaps? They've already gotten ahold of Ogre Battle. Or wait...was that Quest and Atlus just published it? I forget.....but sad news definitely.
I can't think of any company offhand that I would want to buy up Atlus. Maybe SNK Playmore. I don't really trust any of the major game companies to handle them properly. What about Treasure? I doubt they're big enough on their own to acquire Atlus, but do they have a parent company who would be interested?
Feed men, and then ask of them virtue!
Sony would be the best fit. They give their owned studios plenty of space to do as they like. (Quantic Dream works with them and Naughty Dog has really done some intresting stuff with ther freedom)
Other than them there are few who would let them work unmolested.
