ffs, didnt the s&box / gmod community try to crucify garry for being "soft on ai" back when he made the dev log talking about his idea to combating the ai problem on s&box? Valve is literally doing the same fucking thing garry said he was going to do, fix the ai problem by having better platform discovery. i hope these people are just as outraged at valve being "soft" on ai

i dont see how they are taking any action that would make you think they just want our money. By every measure Valve is more greedy than any action facepunch has taken regarding s&box. mit engine, open source, no engine fees for standalone, FP is very active in there discord and shows shit off often. the games facepunch releases they are often opensource. The FOMO skins people complain about are mostly community made, meaning FP shares money with the artists. They have payed out almost 1m to the community through the playfund, its not life changing money but multiple months in a row ive made 100$+ usd. They even gave most of the existing devs free copies of the game (me included). Anyone who says FP is doing this for the money is missing the point. The only way they are "doing it for money" is they intend on using s&box for there own games in the future, to get past the expensive unity enterprise fees. Fees that are so high per year that it makes the development costs making s&box look small. You also know what? they even "opensource" there finances related to s&box at sbox.game/metrics/finance. Nothing FP has done with s&box shows to me in any way they are just looking to make money. This likely is people being misinformed and confusing sbox.game (facepunch) with sandbox.game(not facepunch). Where the latter is a platform that has a NFT marketplace (another thing people think sbox has) my point is this idea people have of facepunch is greedy is unfounded and is likely just people getting confused on what platform they are looking at. maybe garry is as big an asshole as people claim he is (ive seen no proof), but nothing about any of the actions him or FP has taken regarding s&box rises to the level of "greedy".

s&box handles UI the best out of other popular game engines ive tried. It leans on existing web standards making it easy to pickup if you already have some web experience but also rewards you if you dont. Learning to make UI in s&box will teach you the basics to create your own website. Pivoting to or from Blazor should feel pretty easy and if this isnt enough, you can skip using razor entirely by using the new Painter system.

The people who dont like Terry where never going to enjoy s&box in the first place. They are shallow and miss the point Lets focus on the cool shit they add to the engine instead cant wait for performance metrics because the scene compilation has big %fps increase in my tests

The "new" s&box characters are not new. They are using the new ModelDeformer component. Meaning you can defore Terry in many more way than what the new character menu exposes. All this without requiring any changes to thousands of skins that already exists for Terry.

Remember that halo infinite forge NEEDED to be always online for security reasons. Meanwhile...

If you enjoy halo infinite multiplayer then i honestly think you need to go get checked and make sure your not hypoxic. This shit is just watered down quake and for some reason is less dead than it. no clue why Microsoft nuked this fucking game yet
