Wing Commander Saga Correction

The Wing Commander Saga Website corrects part of the recent report on this fan-created Wing Commander game has official approval from EA. Here's how they explain the situation:

We would like to post an official correction about something that has been misreported about "Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn." We are not officially or unofficially sanctioned or endorsed by Chris Roberts, Origin, or EA. We are thankful to them for permitting us to make Saga- as manifested by them taking no action to shut us down but allowing us to develop it, just as they have done with other projects like Standoff and Privateer: Gemini Gold- but they have in no way, shape, or form sanctioned our project, nor have they done anything to make it official. They have not contacted us and we have not discussed it with them. Once again, we are thankful that they are permitting us to do this, but no endorsement of Saga by these entities should be implied from that fact.

Quoted for baseless conjecture. EA has done a number of things in recent years which deservedly have drawn the ire of PC gamers and video game buyers in general. However, shutting down fan projects is not one of them. I can think of plenty of fan-made mods and game projects which have EA's approval. EA has also released older games for free like the C&C Anniversary release and has approved the release of stand-alone C&C Renegade mods.

Can you actually name any fan-made games or mod projects which have been "foxed" by EA? I can name several by Activision/Vivendi and Atari, which is one of the worst, but not EA.

True nuff. And as the man mentioned in his response, they have a history of permitting fan remakes and expansions specifically in the Wing Commander franchise. So all evidence is that EA is showing intelligent restraint. I wouldn't expect them to officially endorse a project they have no involvement in.
