I'm pretty sure there's absolutely no risk of any of the fan games becoming canon, so you don't need to worry.

This is hardly the first megascale all-volunteer fan project to get pushed back. (Ask a Star Wars Fanfilm forum about "Tyderium" sometime.)

And I'll keep fighting against any of those ideas ever becoming anything resembling canon.
Faramir does not take the ring to Gondor. Treebeard doesn't hesitate before deciding to attack Isengard. Elves don't show up at Helm's Deep. Saruman takes over the Shire.

And yet, despite the fact that these things were changed in a way I strongly dislike, I have no personal vendetta against Peter Jackson. He told the story the way he felt it fit his movie. I disagree with him, but I understand his perspective, and I can even enjoy much of the movies.

Hell, there's even LESS that I like in the Rankin-Bass and Ralph Bakshi LOTR films. But I don't go to every Tolkien forum and turn every post into a rant against those filmmakers.
