A lot of OS games are great, provided you can stand the waiting time. Others like Live for Speed went commercial anyway and lost their pioneering appeal to commercialism. Been waiting ages for an update to that nice racing sim.

Oh, your ricer Trabant analogy reminds me - there are a lot of classic games with die-hard modders converting mediocre stuff into very good products with huge expansion packs. POTC is one.

Like SH3 with GWX, their hard work tends to outshine later commercial releases in the genre but yes, I agree they are more jury rigged than professionally finished.

GWX is also unique that the developers made a very pretty and useful manual.
