Who is the Publisher?
I thought EA games was going to be the publisher for civ3, but an email response I got today from their e-store says this is not the case. Who is the publisher going to be?

Those guys just bought Hasbro's video games division, which includes the old MicroProse. Maybe they could work out a deal for more stuff in the Limited Edition

Infogrames has closed their online store, so there will be no direct ordering from them.

Atari?
Did Infogrames used to be Atari or did they buy them out?

Warner (who owned it in its glory day) sold it to Hasbro who then integrated the brand into its Hasbro Interactive division and published retro titles under the name. Infogrames, which is a large french developer/publisher originally (most famous for the Alone in the Dark series) bought Hasbro Interactive (and GT Interactive) in order to break into the lucrative stateside market. The brand, although well known in France and most of europe, is not big in the states which is what has prompted this name change.
