Bruno Bonnell

-- 25-year games industry veteran and Infogrames founder -- has stepped down from his plethora of positions at Atari, the company announced today.


Bonnell was holding down the jobs of Chairman of the Board, Chief Creative Officer, Acting Chief Financial Officer, and a director of Atari. (To be clear, the company is still Infogrames, they've just taken to using the name Atari, the Dread Pirate Roberts of the gaming industry.) Notably absent from the list of jobs is the role of CEO, which Bonnell was forced out of in 2003 by stockholders in the face of financial troubles that, well, still aren't cleared up. But Bruno, why leave now, just when things were sort of starting to maybe get better?
