Taiwan's leading computer seller Acer is to take over US PC maker Gateway in a USD 710m deal. The takeover will create the world's third largest producer of personal computers, with shipments of more than 20 million PCs and sales of USD 15bn. The deal may also see Acer try to block Chinese rival Lenovo from buying Packard Bell's operations in Europe.

It was Infogrames. They bought Hasbro (who owned Atari) and then renamed their US subsidiary Atari. I don't know if the brand name really did much for them. I played a number of games they published (Hasbro owned the IP).
I don't know about most gamers but I pay more attention to the developers (both studio and individuals) than I do publisher.
With computers it's kinda similar. I look at the hardware a company puts into their computer. Who's video card, what chipset & MB, who's RAM and so on. The big name on the computer box has less of an impact.
