Garry's Mod Goes Commercial

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the antlions-vs.-gmen-vs.-combine dept.

Gothic_Walrus writes "A recent entry in The Steam Review brings the news that Garry's Mod, the popular mod for Half-Life 2 that allows players freedom to play with the game's physics engine in what is effectively a sandbox mode, is going to be sold through Steam at a $10 price point. It's worth noting, however, that the current version of the mod will remain as a demo."

    I know, 10$ isn't a big deal, but how is www.hlcomic.com going to handle this? :P

    So is it going to be standalone now, or will it still require HL2?

    I'd buy it in a heartbeat for $10, but I'm not the least bit interested in HL2.

    is going to be sold through Steam at a $10 price point.

    What is with this "price point" stupidity? Why can't people simply say that it will be sold "for $10", without adding a completely meaningless appendage?
