Left for Dead started as a Counterstrike mod.

And Counterstrike started as a Half-Life mod. It's elephants all the way down!!

I'm actually really surprised that Microsoft hasn't been more inspired by Minecraft mods for their direction

If they took something like Create and put it into a new Minecraft release it would be incredible

I think a huge part of the problem in the North American game industry is that the execs and MBAs you mention still seem to have a mentality that games are for gross dorky losers It's really weird how much the game industry seems to despise their audience

MBA should have been education for managers who already have industry experience so that they can better perform in their new responsibilities. Unfortunately everyone collectively decided that an MBA degree was a substitute for competency.

I suspect this has a lot to do with Nepotism still

"You can't just hire your friend's son for that job, it needs credentials"

"Oh it's fine, he has his MBA"

Where MBA is a relatively easy degree to get that even a pretty average person can coast through
