The Final Days of Gmod

[Cheetah]

It seems by player count recently the game is finally dying. I've been playing since 2009 roughly, and although i knew this time would come, its sad to see such an awesome, dynamic game finally fall.

My big question is: Whats next?
There doesn't seem to be a notable sandbox physics multiplayer that's mod-able in the way gmod was. Possibly Bonelab but that's only VR compatible. FiveM is almost strictly a money grab for "extra perks" and is already slowly dying itself.

I'm thinking whatever is next has to be coming soon, or is already out but not modded to the same level yet, but that's just my optimism for another game i can spend hours on without the hope of achieving anything other than a few laughs.

Its over. Garry's Mod has fallen. Billions must play The Sandbox

[TheSillyMilly13201]

in my eyes, GMod will never die, if it does... ill be the only surviving player

[nicks husband coach]

[Wild Wrecker]

gmod is not dead, not yet, most people quit the game due to the DMCA nintendo issue

Gmod is still alive to me no matter what we can glue this community apart

I'm wondering if after all this time, S&box might end up not being as good for us sandbox players as Garry's Mod has been, it seems as though so much focus has been put into gearing the game so much towards gamemode developers, that it may be at the expense of the sandbox experience for players like us. That's just my perception from the things I have heard though of course. Of course it won't matter unless Facepunch could stop rebuilding the entire game engine over again every couple of months, I'm not sure there's even a line of Valve-written code left at this point..

Although I do agree about there being basically no other good physics sandbox game out there like this, every other attempt I have seen to make a sandbox based on building with free placement and constraints rather than the common indie dev voxels or attachment nodes turned out to each be quickly-abandoned asset flips. Very saddening.

Very depressing, I don't like this kind of post, Gmod is not dying, and the decline count is normal in most games, Stay calm, and keep in mind that death is a very heavy topic,

Although I'm not the one who said this game was dying..?

The game is not officially dead yet, the devs are still giving the game updates and players are still doing wacky things. But this new S&Box game is not the same as Garry's Mod, Gmod has the wacky Addons, but S&Box doesn't.

PLEASE END THIS, IT IS BECOMING VERY EMOTIONAL, I"M WARNING YOU!!!
