"With a flick of its wrist, Atari has motioned to dismiss Turbine's lawsuit against the publisher, calling the Dungeons and Dragons Online developer's recent legal actions \"frivolous\" and \"a great disservice to D&amp;amp;D fans and to the MMO community at large.\" Turbine alleges in its lawsuit that Atari failed to uphold a licensing agreement associated with the D&amp;amp;D MMO and did not devote the necessary resources to market the game, due in part to a supposed \"strategy\" to promote its Champions Online MMO instead.Unsurprisingly, Atari has filed to dismiss Turbine's suit and, in addition, filed a secondary complaint seeking \"monies\" allegedly owed to the publisher by Turbine (as supposedly uncovered by a third-party audit). In its official statement, posted in its entirety on IndustryGamers, the publisher adds, \"While Atari hopes for a quick and fair resolution, it remains fully committed to the D&amp;amp;D communities worldwide and will vigorously protect the franchise and its own integrity in this matter.\" Oh, by the way, did you see that Champions Online was released this week!%Gallery-71416%"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
