I just don't see why gas coin has to die just because of this? Surely there is some way for both parties to resolve the issue?

Ok there is premine, now we know about it, owners should take it back and give as bounties for pools and other things. Everybody will be fine with that.
Or simply ask some developer to relaunch coin
People who mined the coin through all problems and errors showed that they actually are interested in coin, and will be more gratefull if you relaunch or continue coin than if you simply throw it out. At least I would like for coin to continue.
In all honesty, it needs a relaunch. I stopped mining when the pool mined the same block 14 times in a row (with some ungodly 10billion coin reward listed) and I could no longer get the client to sync.
Yeah, it'd be great to reward all those that stuck with it and kept mining, but you'd then also have to reward the thieves that stole 100k by premining.
