Index Increases its Stake in Atlus

Hey,

I just stumbled onto this article and decided to share it with you guys.

Apparently RPGFan is reporting that Index Holdings has increased its stake in Atlus to 62.24%. Here is the full article: http://rpgfan.com/news/2009/234.html

Also, here is a link for Index Holdings if you want to know more about them: http://www.index-hd.com/english/index.html
These guys are pretty hot, doing business with pretty much everyone in the world.

I wonder if this is a sign that Index would either think it's time to expand to Europe, or still stay the course by gradually exposing themselves in the European market, by charging other companies the license to localize Atlus games in Europe.

I would like nothing more than to see the birth of Atlus Europe, but who knows what Index is planning. At least they are recognizing how great Atlus really is.

Adrian, there's another angle I just looked at recently.

I'm under the impression that Index wants Atlus Japan to either make Sting a subsidiary or merge with them, seeing how the latter two are in good business terms, which made Atlus (both sides of the Pacific, Japan and USA) into Sting's exclusive publisher.
