>First I heard about Minter was from Eyrie's own NXE

Here's something freaky to consider: NXE takes place THIS YEAR.

More on topic, I'm saddened by this, but not surprised, particularly given that the company now called Atari has the square root of fuckall to do with the one that gave the world so many great games in the '80s and '90s. What we have today is the video gaming equivalent of that outfit that scrounged up the rights to the name "Indian" and sold rebadged Harley-Davidsons, only with more defensive, predatory zeal. Capitalizing on heritage and goodwill with essentially zero effort.
