If there's any major fuckup by Bliz in the last decade or so (ignoring D3 launch  ), their handing of the custom map scene in War3 was definitely one of the worst.It's utterly baffling to me how they didn't hire the poo poo out of the best mappers. I mean I'm sure some custom mappers wound up working there, but still. They should have been trumpeting custom maps from the rooftops and figuring out how to monetize the best ones for creators and Bliz both. Dota ending up with Valve is hilarious. A sequel to a custom map makes no sense in any world. Instead a handful of botters made a few thousand from RMAH deals. That really helped the community

I still think its amazing that there are two full genres of retail games spawned from war3 custom maps. Then again I guess a lot of games came from doom/quake mods too. War3 was the mod heaven of the 00s in comparison to the fps 90s. I'm not sure what the current mod world is. Minecraft?
