Atari officially divested itself of Star Trek Online and Champions Online developer Cryptic Studios. Chinese company Perfect World purchased the developer for 35 million Euros, or roughly $50 million.
Perfect World Entertainment has made a lot of money in the free-to-play space, and may yet push Star Trek Online in this direction as well. As for Atari, they’ll use 21.6 million Euros ($30 million) to help pay off their debt to BlueBay credit facility with the rest going towards the companies efforts in social, mobile and licensed gaming efforts.
