The 10% number was explicitly given by BioWare but I'm not going to try to dig it up - finding something years old on their forums is near impossible.
I'm not sure Shane moving on proves much; it looks to me like Rob McGinnis does a good job on the community side and the need for media PR is limited - but you may well be right. NWN2 operates in a different environment with a near unlimited number of free Asian MMOs, Guild Wars, D&DO, the rise of WoW...and just the sheer amount of community work available for NWN. It's hard to know how much is NWN2's fault (no doubt a chunk) and how much is just the current gaming environment.
