Well I will concede defeat in that you got me to watch a 9 minute video about how JBMod was not actually created to make sex poses.

Cool!

Anyway, the video doesnt debunk anything I said, and there probably wont be a video that debunks anything I said, because it is true.

Garry did base GMod after JBMod, in spirit, design, and nearly certainly just used the same source code that the video you linked mentioned snakez got a hold of.

I was playing GMod far before it was sold for money, and I remember the decision to sell it for money being hugely controversial at the time. I believe it was the first HL2 mod to ever be sold for cash, as opposed to all other mods, which were free... before Bethesda's fucking horse armor started the process of every game monetizing every aspect of itself that it could.

I remember when ropes were added. When hoverballs were added.

While I guess I should give Garry a bit more credit for making a few more neat tools in the early day than JBMod had, it is still absolutely true that he very obviously was very very slow to add features and stick to his own timelines.

He regularly got into fights on the Facepunch forums with people all the time who criticized his code and implementation techniques, banned people who pointed out shockingly simple fixes to bugs in his code, and would then usually, out of spite, redesign entire huge swathes of code to implement the simple fix in an absurdly overcomplicated manner.

There were constant instances where he and his moderators referred people to the wiki, and when peoplr went to the wiki, found that functions were poorly documented, did not function as documented, or didnt even exist, and then users were kicked or banned and had threads exposing this deleted.

He used the whole community to do bug fixing for him, and deleted the evidence in real time.

And I do not see any possible way anyone could argue that the GMod community is /not/ one of the most toxic communities ever in gaming: look up spartan5150 or paradymshyft if you want to know more.

Dude was a horrible bullying fascist that repeatedly groomed underage girls, sent them nudes unprovoked and got them to send him their nudes, and would then manipulate his underage victims by basically holding them hostage and force them to do and say and roleplay vile things, or else he would release the nudes.

And he is just one of many such literal paedophile, absurdly abusive literal criminals of the GMod community.

Other people took advantage of Garry's insanely insecure implementation of lua and used it to install viruses on other peoples machines and steal their info... pretty serious cybercrime.
