I will admit… I was really hyped around the time GMod 13 came out. Unfortunately, when it did, everything just wasn’t the same anymore. GMod just kinda lost the mod-ish charm it had, and it didn’t help the UX was a bit clunky. The community overall just became different, somehow. (I will admit, the new Construct and Flatgrass maps were pretty good improvements, though.)
In fact I never really experienced GMod 10 legally, because at the time, I was just a stupid young 13-year old who didn’t have a source of income, and I had to resort to pirating GMod and playing on the only non-VAC-enabled server on the list.
Plus, with the release of Source Filmmaker, I feel the output GMod machinima has died down quite a bit. (Though thankfully, there are still some talented holdovers such as DasBoSchitt, Antoine Delak, ElTorro64Rus, Mister Prawn, etc.)
Sometimes, I kind of want to go back to the days when Fretta (and GarryWare, for that matter) was still being officially supported, and when people on the then-young YouTube were making stupid GMod videos and tutorials.
Yeah.
