It was mostly spearheaded by superfans looking to satisfy primarily hedonic motivations through websites such as Mod DB and Nexus Mods. Unfortunately, due to high technical skill requirements, the relative isolation to PC games, the lack of curated distribution mechanisms and a web of copyright infringement possibilities, modding has remained a relatively niche pursuit over the past couple decades. Further, they've helped countless games like Minecraft, Skyrim, and The Sims expand and live on with new and exciting content for players. In some rare occurrences, modders have created some of the worlds most popular games such as DotA and Counter-Strike, while also giving birth to new genres like auto-chess and the previously mentioned battle royale. Game mods have been around since the dawn of digital gaming. Not only did that result in the birth of the Battle Royale genre, but also the creation of the breakout hit we all know today as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
Have you ever wondered why PUBG stands for “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds”? Well, an Irish modder by the name of Brendan ‘PlayerUnknown’ Greene created an extreme survival mod of Bohemia Interactive’s open world tactical shooter ARMA 3 with one simple rule - be the last man standing.
