That's pretty cool, any notable examples?
A long time ago I worked with a developer on an OS X tetris game with online competitive play and other customization. It was a really fun project and developed a nice little community until The Tetris Company started sending us C&D's.

I don't know about "supporting" (maybe passively), but Mega Man Unlimited and Mega Man 2.5D are both still alive and well, for example. --- Edit: Well, it seems that Capcom did in fact (actively) support the fan game Street Fighter X Mega Man: "Initially developed as a fan game, Street Fighter X Mega Man later received support from Capcom, who assisted in the production of the game."

- CM30 9y agoYeah, Street Fighter X Mega Man went from a fan game to an official project you can download from Capcom's website. There's at least a certain amount of hope that something similar could happen to Mega Maker in the future.
