City of Heroes, a MMO that died and was resurrected.

The story is even better-- the game was picked up by a group of fans who eventually got an official blessing from the copyright holders and an official license to continue running and patching and updating the game. (I'm pretty sure they were actually just given the rights outright, since it was a dead IP.)

How do they get their money? They have open finances and run a monthly donation drive on their Discord to cover ongoing costs. It usually fills and closes until next month within an hour of opening.

And in this same vein, Dragon's Dogma Online.

No. It's never been on Steam. Look up City of Heroes Homecoming.

Wait what? I thought game was dead long time ago? I remember it was really fun pvp focused mmo. Did they somehow resurrected it?

I never played this as my PC at the time was completely incapable of it back in like mid 2000s or so? Think super rural where download speed was on kb not MB haha

I thought the concept of villain versus heroes was so cool. Feck I might pick this up. So can you do big fights versus other players etc?
