This may bode well for us, the combined company may no longer see the dead horse of Pac-Man as any sort of real money maker, and might concentrate on NEW games, instead of trying to squeeze every last yen out of 25 year old titles that almost everyone already bought 5 times already, and that children aren't even familiar with anymore.
