Let's face it, Vivendi coming out, giving a press release to allow the KQ9 project to resume, is like conceeding a battle! The fans spoke and they listened!

There is a world of difference between fanmade shooter mods and KQ9. Mods extend the life of a commercial product and, in doing so, increase people's desire to purchase the game in the first place. A fan made sequel does not require the purchase of any actual game.
