Garry's Mod sells over 25.4 million copies, becomes best-selling PC exclusive of all time

Garry's Mod has sold over 25.4 million copies since its release in 2006, according to Facepunch Studios. This makes it the best-selling PC exclusive of all time, surpassing titles like World of Warcraft, as recognized by Guinness World Records. Designer Garry Newman reflected on the game's success, noting his initial skepticism about selling it on Steam. He expressed surprise at the game's enduring popularity, which has kept it among Steam's top 100 most-played games for years. Recently, Newman addressed a DMCA claim related to the Skibidi Toilet series, which uses assets from Garry's Mod. The issue was resolved after clarification from the series' creator, highlighting the ongoing legal complexities surrounding user-generated content.
