Fair use rationale for Image:Hasbro.png

Image:Hasbro.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Battleship

The Battleship link doesn't link to a page about the game from Hasbro. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.103.133.107 (talk) 01:46, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Formatting

This page is one of few that is not formatted like the rest of the game development pages. For consistency, this should be changed.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.22.203 (talk • contribs)

Okay. In what way? — Frecklefσσt | Talk 02:08, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Merge proposal with Atari Interactive page

I propose for the Hasbro Interactive and Atari Interactive pages to be merged into a single page, because the company formerly known as Hasbro Interactive, Inc. was renamed to Infogrames Interactive, Inc. and later Atari Interactive, Inc.. The Atari Interactive, Inc. subsidiary that was once held by Hasbro and Infogrames was a different business who merged with Infogrames Interactive during the parent company's rebrand as Atari in 2003. Also, the Atari Interactive mentioned above was a subsidiary of Atari Corporation and had nothing to do with Hasbro nor Infogrames, as it was closed when JT Storage purchased Atari Corporation.

Another reason why I am requesting the merger of both pages was because of the successful merger of the GT Interactive page into Atari, Inc. (publisher) many years ago, as both are the same company/business as well.

• Opposed Atari Interactive covers the history of this name in use by multiple division/subsidiaries over a complex series of acquisitions. Originally a division of Atari Corporate, it was sold/merged with JTS. JTS then sold assets to Hasbro's HIAC XI Corporation, under Hasbro Interactive. HIAC XI was renamed Atari Interactive, the second iteration, still a subsidiary of Hasbro Interactive. Hasbro then sold Hasbro Interactive and all subsidiaries to Infogrames SA (Now Atari SA), who put it under Infogrames, Inc. Infogrames, Inc renamed Hasbro Interactive to Infogrames Interactive, with Atari Interactive (HIAC XI) still under it. A couple years later, Infogrames SA completely reorganized internally, and renaming itself to Atari SA. Infogrames, Inc. became Atari , Inc and Infogrames Interactive (previously Hasbro Interactive) became Atari Interactive, essentially a third iteration of the name's use. It's unclear what happened to HIAC XI (known as Atari Interactive previously) during that reorg, but presumably was dissolved. Atari Interactive remains an active company under Atari, Inc, but it is not, strictly speaking, the subsidiary HIAC XI that had the name previously. This isn't a great article structure, by any stretch, but they should not be merged as the exact history of mergers and reorgs isn't clear and "Hasbro Interactive = The Current Atari Interactive" is not demonstrated. Secondly, the fact that GT Interactively was merged years ago is immaterial to this discussion. GT Interactive was merged to Atari, Inc. (publisher), formerly Infogrames, Inc, which was formerly GT Interactive. That was the parent company and a whole separate topic. -- ferret (talk) 19:00, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

  Sorry if I’m confusing, but I sorta know all of this already. I’m trying to explain that the current Atari Interactive is what was formerly Infogrames Interactive/Hasbro Interactive, and that the Atari Interactive company (the HIAC XI holding company) that Hasbro held continued to operate as a subsidiary of the renamed company. Some titles like Atari Anniversary Edition list down both Infogrames Interactive and Atari Interactive, and that was released in July 2001, two years before the rebranding. Luigitehplumber (talk) 20:45, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

  I'm not saying it for your benefit alone, but for all participants. Either way, the fact that HIAC XI survived the original purchase by Infogrames just furthers my oppose. -- ferret (talk)
