From then on, it was like the snowball that gradually turned into an avalanche. Then, someone else encountered a serious bug in the same title and started using the first person's work to fix the problem.
They took it upon themselves to to go into the game's files and restore some of the data on their own. It started a few years ago when someone discovered some missing content in the PC version of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II The Sith Lords. Anyone that does have a copy lying around, grab a copy from the link below, let us know how it all goes. I haven't done so myself because, well, I banished all memory of KOTOR 2 some time ago.
Last week, the team at Deadly Stream announced that their work was done, and that if you own a copy of KOTOR 2, you can download a playable version of the restored content. So some modders took it upon themselves to yank out that code, polish it up, drop it into the final game and give us all the version of KOTOR 2 that developers Obsidian originally intended. Chunks that coders later found out were included on the disc, albeit in a rough, unfinished form. Tight timeframes ended up in a rushed development cycle, in turn resulting in a game that had huge chunks missing from the final, playable product. Those that made their way through to the "end" of Knights of the Old Republic 2 will be aware that the game they just "finished" wasn't anything of the sort.
