More than happy to hear this. I was concerned the company would be affected once I heard about the bankruptcy stuff. I plan on getting SMTIV as well as Dragon's Crown so as long as those are safe then all is well.

I figured MegTenIV wouldn't be affected this close to release. But it's nice to have it confirmed.

Why is there a pic of P4? Isn't the article talking about SMT IV?

So did they file for bankruptcy as a result of that business about them fudging some numbers? Or is it unrelated?

Glad Atlus (supposedly) isn't going to be effected.

Atlus's parent company filed bankruptcy after the number fudging came out.

Well, they're currently still running business as usual. But that can change quickly in cases like this. I have a feeling that things should be largely stable for Atlus, if only because they seems to be hugely successful. And if there's one thing a bleeding company needs, is cash flow.

But its entirely possible to see Atlus and its properties auctioned off in the near future, if it turns out to be necessary to pay off creditors or something. Hopefully it won't come to that, and if it does Atlus will find a new stable home that will keep it active and doing what they do best.

A few companies like ATLUS are the reasons I still play games. Assuming ATLUS/SE/NISA go bankrupt, I might as well just quit gaming altogether Sad

Glad to hear Atlus is doing OK, but the Index bankruptcy was enough to scare me into a SMT IV preorder. Thankfully, I had a mess of Gamestop credit. Smile

Got off the fence to support Atlus and tell potential scalpers of their releases where to stick it.

I'm always afraid when I hear news like this when a game or company has problems.
