GMod is great with stuff like Wiremod and Carter's Addon Pack (stargate stuff) installed, and it is a fantastic creative outlet for kids. I wouldn't regret buying it at all if I were you, even if Garry is a no-talent piece of shit. The E2 chips in Wiremod are responsible for a lot of junior coders out there today.

That's why it really disappoints me that he has such a shitty attitude towards his own customers. I remember trying to get a spacebuild server running on a linux server, ended up having to jump through SO MANY HOOPS just to get it to load. Shit like making sure I was using a non-case sensitive filesystem, using hacky third-party DLLs (yes, DLLs) to get basic functionality working, etc. His response to the bug reports was literally "use a real OS, lol".

Even with all that, it was still unstable as hell and would segfault outright if you so much as looked at it wrong. On the bright side, I learned a ton of new sysadmin tricks while trying to wrangle that bloated monstrosity.
