my post on the bio-boards:

After reading 11 pages of posts on this, Its clear that Atari has really dug themselves in.

I am not suprised at all by their decision to pull the plug, so to speak. Video game companies have been doing what atari has done for along time now. look back on the history of Nintendo, they were the first to pull the plug on the old, in favor of the new, and have done so 6 to 7 times now. They have done it so often, that i refuse to buy any new console from them. Atari is no different from anyother company, they want money. They dont want alot of compitition to interfere with getting that money, be it from another company, or from an old product of their making.

I am Not going to buy NWN2 for along time after its release. It is not just this Atari thing, or due to Obsidions past products, or how they have been handeling certain cut features of the impending NWN2, but a combination of all of it. My decision, has nothing to do with hurting Atari, or Obsidion, but has to do with my lack of confidence that NWN2, will be better than NWN.

I thank Bio-ware for NWN. I use your product on a regular basis, and will buy any future product without question. Bio-ware has shown time and time again that they care about their customers, support their products, and have great vision, as well as the "Stones" to back it up.

For the community, the advice I have, is start posting on the WotC website, and inform them of how disapointed with Atari you are. Maybe, just maybe, WotC will decied its in their best interest to pull the plug on Ataris licence, and let a better company buy it.

I hope that Bio-Ware tries to get the licence to make another D&D based game. Bio-Ware did NWN extreemly well, and gave us old time players something that We were needing for along time. I also hope that Bio-Ware consider being their own publisher, As with the great style and vision Bio-Ware has, a Outside publisher would only take your money, and hold you back.

NWN will stay installed on my Computers for along, long time, reguardless of future patches, official, or unofficial. NWN does exactly what I want it to do, and with all the great content from the community, can be made to look and feel different several times over.

Thanks Again Bio-Ware for 1000s of hours of enjoyment. Long may you live!
