MCV has word that Infogrames/Atari has sold off its remaining 66% stake in PAL-fulfillment arm Distribution Partners to Namco Bandai. This follows Atari's stated goal of moving away from boxed game distribution. According to Infogrames CEO David Gardner: "This will now allow Atari to focus its financial resources and creative energy exclusively on developing and publishing online-enabled games, shifting our operations towards servicing recurring revenues and a higher-margin online business model while still benefiting from access to Distribution Partners strong international distribution network."
