Welcome to watch Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 ways that games try to win back.

Players in this list were specifically looking at instances where a game and by extension its creators, went to incredible lengths in order to draw back those players who had lost interest.

Our focus isn't on the success or failure of these efforts, but rather on the generosity displayed by these games.

Number 10 free release of the extended cut mass effect three.

And while we still have many challenges ahead of us, we can face them together.

To say the concluding chapter of the original mass effect trilogy was controversial would be an understatement.

Many fans complained of mass effect three, ending on an underwhelming and misguided note, a sentiment that was hammered home repeatedly for the Games developer by aware after some time, BioWare eventually announced their plans to release the extended cut, a free patch aimed at modifying the game's conclusion.

It added greater context to the final moments of mass effect.

Three.

Shed some more light on certain characters, fates and even factor in more of the players.

Previous choices.

While it didn't please everyone, it showed that BioWare cared.

At the time.

Every world could be home to a different form of life.

Number nine.

Free maps and moats.

Titan fall, too, goingto a number of factors like releasing in the same launch window as these other major shooter.

Battlefield one.

There was a lot working against the Met Kombat meets FBS Game.

Titans fall to nevertheless Titan full developer.

Respond Entertainment committed to their pre release promise of not sectioning off downloadable content behind a paywall from launch onward, Titan fall to received multiple updates containing new maps, new weapons and even a new mode in the form of frontier defense.

Yet despite having plenty of opportunities to charge for this, additional content respond kept true to their word.

Quite an admirable display.

All told, Number eight adding an offline mode.

SIM City.

Even prior to its launch, the major point of discussion and concern regarding the 2013 reboot of Sin City was the decision to make it and always online title on release.

This would end up being key to the game struggles Sim City initially was unplayable for days due to server issues and thus left many players fuming.

At first, I tried to save face by offering players the choice of a free game on origin, but eventually they cave to demand and patched in an offline mode in 2014 with locals say, files in the ability to manage a multi city set up, it's certainly an improvement over the original state of affairs.

Number seven.

Ditching the auction house salute 2.0, Diablo three says he saw.

We're going to be shutting down the Diablo auction houses when we originally set up the auction house.

This is supposed to be a safe and convenient way for you to trade items.

Blizzard Entertainment's Long in Gestation returned to the Diablo.

Siri's was met with white praise during its May 2012 release.

The good times were tempered somewhat by a number of significant issues.

Among the more pressing problems was the auction house, which divided the fan base over its inclusion of real money spending for in game loot.

Many found the concept of purchasing game items once found naturally in the world undermined and devalued the core diablo experience.

A month before the launch of the expansion Reaper of souls, Lizard opted to release a patch that removed the auction house in favor of an improved loot system called Luke 2.0, It would aim to provide players with fewer items while increasing their overall quality game experience of the album.

Make sure that finding items in game is the best place to find number six.

Introducing the new game Enhancements Star Wars Galaxies fans worldwide have always enjoyed becoming a part of the adventure.

But what if you could turn on your PC, connect to the Internet and completely immerse yourself in an online Star Wars universe?

Many Star Wars fans have dreamed of being a part of this universe, And while Star Wars Galaxies in its base form offered an opportunity to do so, players notice that the path to become a Jedi was an extremely time consuming one.

Thus, in 2005 Sony Online introduced major changes in the form of the new game enhancements, from making combat real time to re working the Jedi path as a selectable profession.

From the start, these changes were specifically designed to make Galaxies more inviting two new players.

But it's a decision that ultimately backfired as many day one players felt like hundreds of hours of progression had been for not and demanded refunds on Mass.

Sadly, the game never recovered from the backlash, and it was shut down in 2011.

Everything you need to fulfill your ultimate Star Wars fantasy is now together in one package.

Number five new Pokemon new events.

Rework, tracking and Jim's.

Okay, Mongo.

While this mobile Pokemon game may have made an immediate cultural impact, it became clear weeks later that Pokemon Go was dropping players.

Quickly, players found the content was sorely lacking.

The tracking system was too vague, and the gyms encouraged a Pai tow win system.

Then came the updates.

Bro came on from later generations were integrated.

Special events like community days, offered players easier chances to capture specific and or shiny Pokemon, and tracking Pokemon was made easier by centralizing spawn points around Pok stops.

Jim's were also redesigned to earn coins easier than ever before, and the updates haven't stopped since then.

Most recently, team rocket battles were added, making the game field like a completely different title than when we had it in 2016.

Number four.

Free Month of Xbox Live Extra games.

Halo, The Master Chief collection.

Finishing the fight took a lot longer than anticipated, that's for sure.

The Master Chief collection promised to take the 1st 4 main Siri's entries and present them with greater polish than before, especially Halo two, which got a major graphical remake.

This turned out to be partially true.

The games looked far more impressive, but online matchmaking was riddled with bugs and night unplayable at lunch in recognition of the collections.

Troubled state 343 offered those who purchased it before December 1920 14.

Several gifts as part of a wider apology among said gifts or a month subscription to Xbox Live Gold and a remastered version of Halo 30 D.

S T, though in 2019 the collection received Halo reach alongside a PC.

Port number three reworking, pair progression and lots of free updates.

Star Wars Battlefront two.

That Freedom.

The tale of battlefront two's infamous Blue Box tobacco has been heavily ingrained in gamers minds and dice has continued to go all out in updating the game with free updates just to make up for that disaster.

The first much needed change came with a heavily reworked progression system.

Star cards now can only be earned through play with micro transactions limited to purchase a bill, character skins and the crates containing purely cosmetic items.

But Dice hasn't stopped there, as the game has also received content updates focusing on the Clone Wars era as well as time content coinciding with solo in the rise of Skywalker films.

Credit words do the fact that e and dice have provided this much free support to a game heavily marred by its launch controversy deserves to be commended.

Number two.

Multiple free expansions.

Nomen Sky Speaking of fixing games heavily marred, here's another example 2016 procedurally generated space exploration game No man's sky hit store shelves.

And despite plenty of optimistic pressing the lead up, it became highly divisive among fans due to a laundry list of unfulfilled promises.

Hello, games opted not to simply let things sit on result, however, and instead work to fulfill their promises through free updates.

Expansions such as the foundation and Pathfinder updates runnin mechanics like base building and land vehicles.

But it was the next update that ultimately ended up being the game's redemption, thanks to the inclusion of multi player, third person camera support and freighters to explore the Galaxy much easier.

Hello Games is still updating the game.

Number one.

Remaking the Whole Freakin Game Final Fantasy 14.

While every other game on this list saw fixes through incremental updates and expansions, those feats pale in comparison to what Square Enix did to save Final Fantasy 14.

When the game first launched in 2010 it was widely panned by both critics and fans due to a clunky MMO interface and a plethora of performance issues.

But rather than slowly fix the game over Time, Square Enix made the unprecedented decision to completely replace the development team and started again from scratch.

And in 2013 the game was relaunched as final Fantasy 14 a realm reborn.

This risky fix paid off, though, and the game has continued to receive fine, polished expansions with 2019 shadow Bring Ear's in particular being released toe widespread critical acclaim.

Now that's sticking to your guns in the mood for more awesome gaming content.
