Correct me should I be wrong, but the ONLY reason that was allowed to continue was after a bloody fight between the fan-devs and Activision, all while the fan-dev team still had permission from the original owners of the IP before the merger. In one of Activision's rare, raaaare moments of common sense, they allowed them to continue.Posted at 8:30PM on Jan 26th 2011 by devilsei
