Actually, Bioware had little to nothing to do with the decision to pull the plug on NWN as far as the cancelling the premium mod. The very reason that they have moved away from working under the DnD license to create their own games, I'm sure, has to do with dealing with companies like Atari. I'll be happy to continue playing Bioware games in the future. I certainly wont trust anything that comes out with the Atari name, though. I have my doubts that Atari will be around long anyway. I have my doubts that any game they publish will have any support beyond the release date. Look at Temple of Elemental Evil. That is what I expect to happen to NWN2.
btw. Bioware HAS been supporting the NWN community for 4 years now. Atari has not supported the community at all. And with NWN2 .. Atari has basically told the Linux and Mac sides of the community to shove it with, absolutely, no support at all planned for server or client sides in NWN2, for those platforms. If support for those platforms happens, it will be at the expense of Obsidian. Who will probably not see any royalty monies from NWN2 due to Atari's financial problems.
