Nintendo forces Garry's Mod to delete 20 years of content — Garry confirms Nintendo is behind Steam Workshop purge | Tom's Hardware

God that makes me feel old. Yeah, Garry's Mod is literally named that because it's his mod. He started making it as a teen, released it for free for a long time, and then leveraged it into a job and company (FacePunch, they also made Rust a lot later).

I think Garry's Mod 10 was the first paid release, and he and his team have just been updating the paid version since.

The game's official site used to just be his blog, and I believe he still posts semi-regularly about game development, running a company, and life stuff. Always seemed to be a real stand up guy.
