This isn't an issue of simply withdrawing support for a 4 year old game. Form reading the stories it seems that Atari actually pulled the plug on the premium mod having previously approved it, and once it was practically complete and close to release. It wouldn't have taken much to allow it to be released and simply stop future content, but it appears that they may have been running scared of the impact of this mod group module would have on NWN2 sales.
