Agreed, if we lived in a different world than our current one, it would be nice and i wouldn't bat an eyelid at seeing that. Want to play the old Star Wars Battlefront 2 with fan made leader servers? Go ahead, there's a project out there for the hundreds to thousands of nostalgic people. Want to play Battlefield Bad Company 2 in a similar manner with fan made projects to support the game after the company behind it has given up? You're more than welcome. Want to play fan made mods/expansions for KOTOR2 or maybe the Jedi Outcast games, or maybe Battlefield 1942 or Battlefield 2? Sure! Perhaps play a newly created fan game for the Duke Nukem series, which really took a nosedive a few years back? Go ahead, enjoy that person's art. Of course, one can argue that it would become way more problematic if the developers of any such project tried charging money for them, though as long as they're freely available and any donations are entirely optional, i don't see any problems. And yet, in our current world, things are not that simple - whenever there's a threat of cease & desist for any project like that. Games like STALKER have a rich modding scene that keeps the games alive years after the developers finished them and introduce everything from new mods to total conversations, something that might as well not be possible with a different company behind the game, which would pursue legal action.
