  Sega Sammy merged Atlus with Sega.
  
  Hello unlocalized games.

  It would kill their franchises if they merged them like that in their games.

  Fucking hell the one company I did not want them to buy out. There go my atlus games.

  No, more like Sega is trying to prevent the Wii U from being Dreamcast 2

  We'll see. Paying a billion yet just to sit on those I.P. Doesn't seem all that smart.

  Maybe now we'll be able to fuse Sonic and Jack Frost together in a Cathedral of Shadows in the next MegaTen game! Sanic Hedge-Frost anyone? Gotta Hee-Ho fast??
  
  Seriously though, this is god awful news. I bet the Messians did this.

  Meh, I can always import the unlocalized games. unless they are region locked then that would suck..
  
  This better bring persona 5 though :I or games similar to catherine since no one in the west tries to vary from the fps genre
  
  [Spoiler= This is what Japanese people have commented on about this]
  “This could not get any worse…”
  “Don’t expect anything good to happen to the Megaten franchise now.”
  “Expect Megami Tensei 5 soon – on a pachislot machine!”
  “I guess it all depends on how good Persona 5 turns out.”
  “Terrible name… reminiscent of that console.”
  “A dream bought with money.”
  “Dream does not go well with Sega now…”
  “The name is an ill omen.”
  “A bad dream indeed…”
  “At least call it Sega Atlus.”
  “Atlus Tensei should be the name!”
  “We can but hope they keep the Atlus name on.”
  “They say the Sega Dream company was just incorporated for conveyance purposes, and that they will likely change the name.”
  “It’s hard to believe what’s left of that company is in any shape to turn out decent games.”
  “Atlus is the only part of Index worth anything. It’s the other divisions which are rubbish.”
  “They better not mess with the Odin Sphere makers.”
  “They would have been so much more compatible with Koei Tecmo or Bandai Namco. Sega Atlus is…”
  “Let’s just hope Miku turns up as an angel in the Megami Tensei series…”
