Microsoft quashes Halo mod
Microsoft has issued a cease-and-desist request to the makers of Halogen, a free Halo mod based on Electronic Arts' Command & Conquer series. The mod had been in production for the past three years, but now, all Website resources will be pulled by the end of the week. It's become increasingly difficult in the past decade to produce a mod based on an existing intellectual property; companies like Fox have aggressively pursued free content that might compete with paid offerings. A common counter-argument is that mods are actually expressions of customer devotion.
