Most of us didn't know that we're going to get paid. Not to mention Garry will be releasing updates every week or so. Most of the bugs (text corruption, Lua's instability, etc.) are gone, and anything that pops up will be squashed along the way. That's precisely the point: this new version is a complete rework of the entire mod. I'm a member of Garry's team, or the "Garry's Mod Illuminati", and there are a few things all of you should know.įor one, I read somewhere that 9.0.4 was not worth $10 because of the amount of bugs in it. Although I'd argue that Gary's team could've done better than a 50/50 split with Valve. I look at paying for Gary's mod a reward to Gary for providing an excellent tool, and hopefully some incentive for him (and his team) to keep going. And if people find those costs too high to bear, then they'll simply move on to other things. If paying these people a reasonable fee keeps them motivated to keep producing such outstanding content, then great.

is that they were all really high quality stuff, on par with anything the professionals (including Valve) sold. The thing with the popular HL mods from CS, Day of Defeat, Natrual Selection, They Hunger, etc. The price of the HL license made the purchase a reasonable one - though it might've been a more limited license, I don't remember. The retail CS came with two things, a CD containing the executable (so you wouldn't have to d/l it) and a HL license. There is still a free version available, and if the updates aren't worth it to you, don't buy it. Just like CS for HL1, you don't have to buy Gary's mod either.
