Popular PC sandbox game Garry’s Mod has reached a new sales milestone. The standalone game sold its 10 millionth copy over the holidays, creator Garry Newman announced on Twitter.
Jesus christ. GMod sold its ten millionth copy over new years.

The $ 10 Garry’s Mod, as its name suggests, began its life as a free mod for Valve’s Half-Life 2. As IGN notes, the standalone version was released in 2006 as part of Newman’s formation of Facepunch Studios.
The developer also released survival game Rust–and it, too, has enjoyed strong sales.
A sequel to Garry’s Mod is currently in development, though, as of September 2015, it’s still “early days” for this game. Virtual reality will be a “big point” of this game, which will not be called Garry’s Mod 2.
Never tried Garry’s Mod? It’s marked down to just $ 2.50 right now as part of the soon-to-end Steam Winter Sale.
