Unlike e.g. Nintendo with its (until recently) clear "succession" line and internal promotion, Atari's always been a Ship of Theseus company. Rapid executive transition from Bushnell to Warner to Kassar to Tramiel, the star developers leaving to form Activision, the separate VCS vs. PC vs. arcade divisions (imo sad how little attention was paid to the post-VCS arcade side in Atari 50!) It's been pieced out and put back together half a dozen times; it's surely dead by 2008 but did it die in spirit in 2001, 1999, 1996, 1993, 1984, or arguably even as early as 1979? And despite the cryptocurrency and pop culture mess, if it's a Jeff Minter reworking of Mike Hally and Dave Ralston game how could it not be Atari?
