According to Courthouse News (which generally isn't the first place most players would expect to find MMO news), Turbine has filed a lawsuit against Atari "to recover in excess of $30 million in losses occasioned by Atari’s breach and wrongful conduct." Turbine alleges Atari failed to meet its publishing and distribution obligations for Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach and continued to accept payments from Turbine related to the upcoming launch of the free-to-play DDO Unlimited even though even though Atari planned to "immediately threaten to terminate the agreement."

According to the lawsuit, Turbine alleges Atari would terminate the agreement to either extort money from Turbine or "to free itself from its obligations under the contracts in order to clear the way for the launch of its own competing MMO service based on the D&D and Advanced D&D intellectual properties." While the competing product is not specified, Gamespot believes it's Atari's rumored Neverwinter Nights MMO, which would apparently be developed by Cryptic Studios.
