Let’s start with something essential - a lightsaber.
So, as a seasoned Garry’s Mod player (over 2600 hours), I have found and compiled some of the best Addons for your perfectly weird, unnatural and awkward night of gaming. It can be a hassle to find your perfect Addon, or an Addon that is going to save you some time loading into a very populated server. Rick Sanchez wielding a cat? Pic-cholas Cage? Yes, and please stop asking before we find out what you secretly google late at night. Darth Vader with an AK-47? They have that.
Every gamemode, player character, weapon, and map can be found in Garry's Mod workshop on Steam. Hmmm… Maybe being an old timey salesman isn't the best approach to making Addons sound sexy.Īddons are the heart and soul of Garry’s Mod. We'll wait to see what it looks like once the Skyrim system has stabilized and see what we can learn from it before pushing forward, but opportunity is never a bad thing to give people.Top 25 Best Garrys Mod Addons Every Player Needs (2020 Edition)ĭoes fighting aliens with a musket in a cave thrill you? How about finding traitors in a Star Destroyer? All of this (and more) is an option in Garry’s Mod! With the power of Addons, you too can see the best user generated content from one of the largest gaming communities on the planet.
Doesn't it make sense that we bring that into Steam so those transactions can be trusted by both parties? Obviously it's going to be hard to convince those guys to move their mods to Steam and lose 75% of their profits, but we'll see what wiggle room we have on that. People already sell their mods for Garry's Mod privately. It's something I wanted to do when Workshop was first integrated into GMod in 2012, but the system wasn't ready for it. What about Garry's ModIt's something we're interested in for sure. If you don't like it then don't use it, but don't take the opportunity away from people that do.
In the same way that there's hundreds of free games on Steam right now that you've never played, and there's hundreds of paid games on Steam right now that you've never bought. It's a choiceIt's most important to remember that this is a choice. This is something that will get better with time. I don't know whose choice that is though, but it feels like someone is being a greedy asshole. It's obvious that Valve and the game developer need to make money here too, enough to cover costs at least - but it's the modder's work that is making the money. The modders should be getting the majority share of the revenue from this - that just seems like common sense. That's the wrong way around in my opinion. So obviously Valve and Game Devs are the biggest winners right now.
There was a time where they'd almost completely stopped making PC games because of piracy. People will upload stolen stuffI've said it a million times - If "people are assholes on the internet" was a reason not to do something then we'd never do anything Stuff is going to happen. Valve's job is to make it more convenient for you to not pirate stuff. That's what we all did when we were kids with no money. You're a kid and you don't have any moneySo find a way to pirate them. Are they worth more to you than whatever else you're going to spend the money on? No? Well don't buy them, do without. You don't need these mods, you just want them. You don't have to buy anythingNo-one is holding a gun to your head. They'll either have to lower their price or make it worth the price. If a mod takes 10 seconds to make and someone wants to charge $10 for it then they won't sell any copies because it's not worth it. Some people won't want paying for their stuff. So here's some important points: There are still free modsA lot of the craziness seems to come from the thought that no-one will ever release their mods for free. It's created a company that has hired 30+ people. It's bought me two houses, a bunch of cars. I sold a mod once and everyone was angry that it was happening, until it happened and they got a much better product than they'd have gotten when it was released for free, then they seemed to calm down a bit.
It's probably no big suprise that I'm all for it. There's a lot of craziness about paid mods, a lot of people who don't know how they feel.
