Those of you here who play PC shooters, like myself, probably have at least heard of Garry's Mod for Half-Life 2. After version 9.4 it will be sold over Steam for $10 with the profits split 50/50 between the G-Mod team and Valve. What are your thoughts on this?

Personally, I expected this would happen eventually though I didn't expect it to happen quite this way. I thought it could very well become a retail game but I imagined it as part of Valve (ergo G-mod team becoming yet another team under a Valve salary). This with them coexisting is quite intriguing from a business standpoint. I'll end up dishing out the $10 as I personally view G-mod as offering enough to warrant that (heck, I could even go as much as $30 possibly but $10 is practically a steal).

I'm a bit curious as I know a lot of people think that way and I would genuinely like to know why as I personally don't understand.

Thankfully I downloaded it far before this news.

This could be good since those who created it will have more resources to expand the mod. Other than that, it sounds more like an attempt by Valve to get some money out of one of HL2's most popular mods.
