Regardless of his experience, he is perfectly entitled to his opinion on neverwinter. Neverwinter *does* have some potentially quite unique and interesting features. As far as I know, it is the first graphical, online RPG where an end user will be able to assume the roll of a gamemaster. The engine appears to be flexible and we know it to be moddable. There's certainly some legitimate reasons to believe that NWN will have a significant impact on the gaming community.
Regardless of whether or not NWN is revolutionary or not, all Andrew said was that GDG started with NWN and that he believes it has great potential. The latter point seems plausible and the former point is reasonable given the goal of the organization.
