Besides revealing sales figures for their own games, it has been revealed that Garry’s Mod has sold 312,541 copies on Steam. This has undoubtedly brought much financial happiness to creator Garry Newman, who must have gotten over $3.12 million from the sales.
“GMod hasn’t just given me financial stability,” wrote Newman on his blog. “It’s also made me a lot more experienced in c++. I learned how game engines are meant to work. I got to fly to Valve HQ.”
The Source-powered mod allows gamers to take models from various games into an open sandbox and play with them accordingly. It is usually used for forum lulz, but also has serious uses. The mod requires at least one Source-engine powered game to be installed.
