MATT GALLANT — Oddworld's game starring The Stranger, a combination of Clint Eastwood, Rob Halford, Popeye, Mega Man, a lion, and a monkey, is now once again with publisher. Earlier reports that Microsoft had bought out Atari's stake in the company turned out to be erroneous; it was actually Oddworld Inhabitants themselves who bought out Atari by handing them publishing royalties from Microsoft.

The now fully independent Oddworld is co-habitating with Electronic Arts to get this still-untitled game out in the world. Will EA now also pick up the other high-profile game Microsoft dropped from its rolls, Psychonauts? My sources say, "Gymkata!" My sources are fired.
