Should Atari be managing this game?

Since release the game has had its up and downs, server problems, login issues and etc. Which now has me wondering if Atari is the right company for this job. Please do not get me wrong, they put out good games. But as far as handling a MMORPG with a player base as large as this one. I am starting to think that Cryptic should consider seeking a better company with better experience and servers power. Maybe they should get together with NCsoft again since they have the know how and servers power or someone else.

What do you all think?

PS, please forgive me for any bad grammer and or spelling mistakes.

    I LOL'd at the Atari makes good games part. :)

    Atari bought Cryptic so they can't go looking for someone else to publish for them.

    Atari owns Cryptic so it isn't a matter of Cryptic doing anything. Atari calls the shots, although Cryptic actually mananges the servers.

    Well, Sony stepped a toe in, decided it was too hard, and passed it up. Perpetual tried to listen to the forum crowd and make the game they demanded, and went bankrupt. Blizzard doesn't do other peoples' IP.

    Who is left?

    Bioware has TOR and Turbine is busy with the lawsuit and DDO. Not many left.

    Allow me to ask you a question OP.

    Should a business that creates a product be able to control that product? Wait, that's the same question you just asked, isn't it? I dunno. Seems to me to be a pretty silly question, don't you think?
