8 Video Games Fans SAVED From Annihilation
2. Supreme Commander
In the realm of RTS games, Supreme Commander is a force to be reckoned with. While the more casual fans will know of Commander and Conquer and Starcraft, Supreme Commander is pretty much the undersung hero of the genre, nailing audiences with a surprisingly emotional narrative and doubling down on tense white knuckle strategy.
It's a joy to play that's for sure, but it's an even bigger joy to know that it's actually the fans that are in charge of the series at this point in time! When support for the game officially ended in 2009, fans were clearly not ready to let go of this strategy giant, and so took it upon themselves to make Forged Alliance
Forever, a site dedicated to patching and balancing the game, and with their collective efforts, used a server emulation function to host the games online portion beyond the lifespan of the game.
From 2011 players all over the world could log into this service and enjoy a title that not only has been frequently updated but also expanded upon in so many ways that the sheer amount of content available is mind-blowing.
It seems that when told that Supreme Commander was done for, the fanbase clearly, and loudly stated "no".
