Neverwinter Nights 2: No More NWN 1 Support by Atari?

Sorcerer's Place has posted a bit of last night's chat log between NWC users and the DLA team. It is NOT a confirmed fact at this point, but it seems that the DLA team is under the impression that Atari has cancelled any further plans for patching NWN 1 or the creation of any additional premium modules.

From the Socerer's Place newsbit and the chat log:

May 26 02:55:58 <[CEP|1oRP]TheExcimer500> I had a feeling they'd do that. Can't have competition...
May 26 02:56:04 <[DLA]Lisa> all cause our stuff was too good :(
May 26 02:56:05 Yep
May 26 02:56:07 <[DLA]Steel_Wind> Atari is near insolvency and is deperate that NWN2 succeed. They don't give a rat's ass about DLA horses
May 26 02:56:15 <[DLA]Steel_Wind> they do care very much - however - about BioWare horses
May 26 02:56:17 <[DLA]Amala> They want full focus on NWN2
May 26 02:56:26 NWN2 would still succeed even with NWN1 around
May 26 02:56:28 <[DLA]Steel_Wind> that would make NWN2 about what it doesn't have - as opposed ot what it DOES have
May 26 02:56:34 same reason microsoft tries to kill old versions of windows
May 26 02:56:35 Lots of casual gamers would buy it
May 26 02:56:36 <[DLA]Lisa> you would think
May 26 02:56:37 <[DLA]Steel_Wind> and they did not want that spin for the game that is going to save theur company
May 26 02:56:41 <[DLA]Steel_Wind> so they killed it

Again, this is an unconfirmed rumor and certainly one which we will keep our eyes on in the coming days.

Thanks Sorcerer's Place and RPG Dot for the tip.
