=== Support continuation by mod ===
After EA lost its license with [[Major League Baseball]] and [[End-of-life (product)|ended support]] for ''[[MVP Baseball 2005]]'', the game's modding community has continued to support it by releasing updated roster lists and graphics every year, along with creating alternative baseball leagues (e.g. MVP Caribe, a total conversion) in the game.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-12-22 |title=Nine Years Later, Latin America's Leagues Keep MVP Baseball Alive |url=https://kotaku.com/nine-years-later-latin-americas-leagues-keep-mvp-base-1488236659 |access-date=2024-04-04 |website=Kotaku |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://grantland.com/the-triangle/mvp-baseball-2005-mod-community-mlb-video-games/ |title='MVP Baseball … 2015'?

[...] 2K's failure to match MVP's approval rating despite several years of running unopposed on the PC market, made MVP the go-to game for modders even as it lost its looks relative to 2K and The Show. The community's support peaked from 2005 through the first PC edition of 2K in 2009, tailed off for a time, and then ramped up again once Take-Two abandoned the PC market in 2013 and canceled 2K entirely last year. A decade of EA development made MVP the best baseball game on the PC market in 2005, and a decade of amateur development has helped it keep that title in 2015.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Open Source Breathes New Life Into 'MVP Baseball 2005' Video Game |url=http://info.protecode.com/bid/74171/Open-Source-Breathes-New-Life-Into-MVP-Baseball-2005-Video-Game|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160131164345/http://info.protecode.com/bid/74171/Open-Source-Breathes-New-Life-Into-MVP-Baseball-2005-Video-Game |archive-date=2016-01-31 }}</ref>

''[[IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover]]'', released in 2011, received mixed reviews due to bugs and other issues. Modders fixed the game over time and received [[source code]] access, which led to an official re-release under the name ''IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover BLITZ Edition''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://kotaku.com/mods-saved-a-game-so-theyre-now-an-official-product-1823409264|title=Mods Saved A Game, So They're Now An Official Product|author=Luke Plunkett|date=2018-02-28|publisher=[[kotaku.com]]}}</ref>

Following the closure of [[Ion Storm]] the source code to ''[[Daikatana]]'' was released to a select group of modders by [[John Romero]], leading the version 1.3 patch, which also ported the game to [[MacOS]], [[Linux]] and [[FreeBSD]].<ref>{{cite web | last=Dawe | first=Liam | date=2016-07-20 | title=You can play controversial FPS 'Daikatana' on Linux now, thanks to a fan patch endorsed by John Romero | url=https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2016/07/you-can-play-controversial-fps-daikatana-on-linux-now-thanks-to-a-fan-patch-endorsed-by-john-romero/ | website=GamingOnLinux | access-date=2023-02-09}}</ref>

Some online video games are made playable after their discontinuation by modders.  Examples include [[BattleForge]], [[Need for Speed: World]], and [[The Crew (video game)|The Crew]].
