There is no better example of the power of a modded game than the sales figures of Counter-Strike, an amateur Half-Life mod created in 1999 that has sold over a million copies and is currently the most widely played multiplayer game in existence. Since Counter-Strike, there has been an explosion in the number of games released with editing tools to facilitate gamer-created content). It’s official: Modding has spread from the hardcore fringes to near mass-market acceptance. What spawned the mod scene, who currently supports it, how has the industry benefited, how can modding create additional value for your game, and what copyright issues are relevant? This session will look at modding and its uses, why it should matter to developers and publishers, and how modding tools can be most intelligently created--to bring value to your game, establish lasting brand awareness, and prep the market for your game’s update or sequel

Cool. Im pretty sure there's other industry magazines geared to game making already tho. Just cant name off of my head.

A couple months ago I had a few big name magazines with articles about mods... it was wicked

Were the articles about CS and DoD?

Well, maybe they're smart and realize what overration has occured for those mods; maybe they want everyone to learn how to mod, know what modding is, and to know about other mods that need notification.

I hope so, because if they don't... /me shakes fist.

I have this magazine
It's a bit n00bish, but it's not too bad actually. Bloody hard to get hold of - only place I've found it is at a random boutique in a dutch airport. comes with a great software disk mind with buttloads of software mods n maps

EDIT: Didn't mention - there's only one copy of this magazine, and its dated october 2k3 - no others have been released

Maybe I'm slow with reading the news then.
Nah, I'm pretty sure that was a current news article. Maybe it failed?
