Big Download is reporting that Atari will not be attending E3 2009. Since the company is still listed on the official E3 website, it is likely that this decision occurred very recently. Atari is not planning to attend any other events during E3's planned dates of June 2 – 4.
"Atari has made the proactive decision to attend but not exhibit at this year's E3 event," said Atari in a statement. "Although we feel E3 benefits the entire games business, we are very focused around other selling and marketing initiatives for our upcoming Ghostbusters, Champions Online and other to be announced titles."
