Counterstrike and TF both started as half life mods.

This is going to expand the market vastly because it will make it much cheaper to develop quality VR games. In a couple of years, I predict the average purchase of this game will be to play the mods rather than the core game.

Team Fortress started as a Quake mod.

Valve bought the developers and got them to create Team Fortress Classic the goldsrc engine (which started out as the Quake engine).
