Recently, on September 12, the gaming community was shaken by unexpected news published on the official Garry’s Mod Twitter page, where it was clearly stated that the game holds the official status of one of the best-selling PC exclusives in history. This news might not have garnered such widespread attention if it weren’t for one significant detail—the game has been included in the Guinness World Records.
Garry’s Mod is a game that was created back in 2004, and over the years, it has managed to win millions of fans. Moreover, it is astonishing to note that its sales have reached 20 million copies, a figure mentioned as early as September 2021. According to sources such as TheGamer and Neowin, Garry’s Mod has surpassed gaming giants like World of Warcraft, Counter-Strike 2, and Total War: Warhammer 2.
Returning to the original sources, it is worth noting the reaction of Garry Newman himself:
I never would have thought I could become a world record holder while having nothing to do with prawn cocktail crisps.
In conclusion, this time there will be no pessimism, only words of gratitude to both the creators of the game and the players who continue to support the online community of the game even after all these years. For 20 years, Garry’s Mod has continued to delight both old and new players, almost without interruption, albeit with some occasionally absurd updates.
