- KotakuGarry's Mod creator Garry Newman apologizes for s&box, says it goes free-to-play by year's end
Garry Newman, creator of Garry's Mod, apologized in an official blog post for the performance of Facepunch's s&box, saying he is ashamed and embarrassed by its reviews and that selling it as an engine and development experience was the core mistake. Since its April release, s&box has sat at 47 percent positive reviews on Steam with roughly 500 daily players, while Garry's Mod still draws nearly 30,000 concurrent players a day. He plans to bring the sandbox mode to parity with Garry's Mod and beyond with more NPCs, vehicles and first-class multiplayer, drop Facepunch's own backend for Steam Workshop, and move the game from $10 to free-to-play before the end of the year, with existing buyers receiving exclusive Steam inventory items.
- Rock Paper ShotgunGarry's Mod studio Facepunch says S&box will go free to play in a major rethink
Facepunch founder Garry Newman announced that S&box will go free to play towards the end of the year, with paying players receiving Steam inventory items and those who paid $20 getting more than those who paid $10. He said the platform's reviews and retention have been poor, and that the studio will shift focus from the engine and development experience to what players experience, adding NPCs, vehicles, multiplayer support and mod support to the Sandbox mode and replacing its cartoonish citizen character models.
