You forgot to mention the other big hit that started as a mod of ArmA, PUBG. In fact, this is where the battle Royale genre started in gaming, as a mod of ArmA.

Yeah people don't realize with out ARMA there would be no Battle Royal genre. PlayerUnknown was a modder for the ARMA 2 community who made the first Battle Royal mod in Arma. In which he then started his own game and I think we know how that went.
