This happened surprisingly fast. Replacing Iger with Chapek, unfortunately makes perfect sense, and has been whispered about for a couple of years now.
Nearly every decision Chapek has made in his past leadership roles at Disney has made them significantly more profitable. At the same time, nearly every decision he's made has made the customer experience for their end users worse. It should be interesting to see how this plays out.

Nope I wasn’t part of the competitive scene. I was just an active participant in some of the fansite communities (BeyondUnreal, Planet Unreal) and the various mods like The Third Reich and Red Orchestra.
The only artifact of that era I still carry is still hanging around the neotokyo IRC channel after 15 years.
Like you said, the modding community helped a lot of people get in this industry. I wonder if it’s still the same now that it’s less about modding/hacking a game with a group of people and more about contributing content piecemeal (Elder Scrolls/Fallout) or working on an actual game from nearly scratch.
