9 Landmark Fan Outrages That Changed Expensive Video Games

4. The Fans Restore Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic 2

An outstanding display of a fanbase truly standing up and refusing to be dealt a duff hand, KOTOR 2's real ending was added many years later - in part thanks to original developers, Obsidian.

See, the original game - often overlooked thanks to not being developed by Bioware - released in 2004, though it was marred by a rushed production schedule, seeing Lucasfilm breathe down Obsidian's necks, resulting in a very glitchy, half-baked and unfinished product.

This might have been forgotten about had it been a new IP, but this was not only Star Wars (whose fans are some of the most dedicated on the planet), but the first game was a damn fine entry in the saga; well on its way to being one of the best Star Wars games of all time.

As a result, 2009 saw a full-on fan-coded restoration of all the content originally planned for launch - essentially a contingent of hard-working fans continuing development where Obsidian left off. Phenomenally, Obsidian helped out, releasing a ton of unused assets such as voice files and other pieces of the game, so the final version could be as close as possible to what they first envisioned.

Though LucasArts denied application of an official patch, The Sith Lords pack is available online, proving that with enough time invested, any game can be saved from godawful publisher meddling.
