IIRC, Nolan wasn't involved with the many various holders of the Atari brand name rights for decades between now and when he originally left. I don't know if that matters to others but for me it does somewhat weaken the meaning of him being on the board again now vs if he'd been a presence on the board continuously from back in the day to now (which would have been lovely but unfortunately not the way the world worked this time).
That said, hopefully the current incarnation of Atari can create products which further the retro renaissance. The Atari 50 retrospective was a nice start in that direction (though it was made by a retro-focused specialty publisher who licensed the rights from Atari, both Nolan and the current CEO did appear in an interview in the package).
