Atari has acquired Cryptic Studios.
Cryptic had made The City of Heroes and City of Villains MMO games (for NCSoft).

Currently, Cryptic is working on Champions Online MMO for 2009, Star Trek MMO for 2010, and an unknown project for 2011. (http://www.firingsquad.com/news/newsarticle.asp?searchid=21081)

Well, a Star Trek MMO could be a fairly big deal if done right.  That one might be worth the investment.  Champions has been getting some press as well.
