Writing on the Garry's Mod blog earlier today, Garry explained that he rolled the error out not as an anti-piracy measure, but as a reward for those who'd already bought Garry's Mod. Did anyone actually buy games for that thing?' I've pirated as much as anyone,' he added. ' I don't really look at it as lost revenue though, Garry told Bit-Gamer.
Garry's Mod is currently priced at £6, meaning 2,500 pirates is equal to £15,000 in potential lost sales.
Speaking to Bit-Gamer earlier today, Garry's Mod's eponymous developer revealed that he had identified 2,500 pirates in just the 15 hours since the error went live. The error also contains the SteamID of pirates, so they can then be identified when they ask for a solution online. The error in question only affects pirated versions of the game, creating an error that says ' Unable to shade polygon normals'. The deliberate error introduced into Garry's Mod 10 earlier today as part of an effort to identify and catch pirates has already helped developer Garry Newman unmask over 2,500 pirates, Bit-Gamer has learned.
