ModDrop hopes to reignite interest in the Torchlight games through mods

The mod-sharing platform ModDrop said it has acquired the premier Torchlight modding community site, runicgamesfansite.com (RGF). The site boasts over 20 million mods downloaded and hosts more than 3,200 community uploads.

The goal is to help the mod community, where sophisticated users modify existing games with new enhancements (mods) that gamers can choose to adopt, for Torchlight. If the mods are popular, they can generate more players for an existing game.
