Is it supposed to be released today? Couple of places have July 25th 2008 as the release date but no sign . . .
Are they putting it out or are they still sitting on it like a bunch of idiots, waiting for copy protection so long that they lose more sales through loss of interest than they'd gain through decent protection?

I don't think that 'they' (Ossian) have any say in the release date …

I expect another delay as they wrestle with the mess they made including and then pulling it from NWN2 Gold. Atari customer service is head-scratching as we type.

Sorry. No pearls of wisdom in this oyster.
Dallas Cowboys: Can we be done with the offseason? / / Detroit Red Wings: At least we get a new coach

I just took a quick run through the NWN sites (NWNVault, Sorceror's Place, Ossian homepage) and a few of the bigger general news sites, and didn't see anything about a release happening today, or anything at all new on the Atari situation. I expect somebody will give out an update on the latest delay at some point.

There's a rumor that the pirate groups have agreed on not cracking Alone in the Dark 5 due to Atari's situation.

Thanks for the advice all anyway, how bloody annoying. I'm getting vaguely sucked into silverfall while waiting, but I'd rather be playing something good.

Seems odd that they're screwing themselves though, I reckon they'll end up with lower sales and a less enthusiastic modding community (and hence future loyal customer base) than they would with just putting it out even without perfect copy protection.
