On the issue of money and Atari making any off of Premium Mods....I'm not privy to financial data. I'm told "some" in the past without specifics - but nothing to write home about in terms of money (that was my impression). Then again, it does not cost Atari anything to generate the revenue, either. They just need to shut up and take a cheque. It's not much more complicated than that.
The Premium Mods principally funded the Live Team's support of NWN1. So in that sense, Atari paid nothing for further support of NWN. It was all generated in house at BioWare from premium mod sales.
In terms of the situation right now and under the prior plan for this summer - technically Atari would have made money off of premium mods in the sense of a reduction of a liability on their accounts payable - but in terms of cashflow? My analysis says: Nothing. Zip. Nada.
