It’s 2 years today since GMod went on sale on Steam.
The day it went on Steam was a nervous day for me. How well would it sell, would it be buggy as hell, would Valve regret giving me this chance?
The popularity took me and Valve by surprise. As soon as it went on sale the steam servers were temporary knocked out, due to the demand. On the first day it sold 5,729 copies. Wowzer.
I kind of expected that it would sell a big number of copies for the first day, then sell very few after that. I was kind of wrong, because over the next 2 years it went on to sell 312,541 copies. Which has totally knocked my socks off.
GMod hasn’t just given me financial stability, It’s also made me a lot more experienced in c++. I learned how game engines are meant to work. I got to fly to Valve HQ and meet some game making dudes. I got to tell a nice bearded fellow how I was sick all over myself in the shower after eating airline food, and then realising I was talking to Warren Spector.
And it’s my hope that it has inspired other people to do stuff. I mean, I’m a fool like you, I’ve just got more experience in pretending I’m not, and I did it.. So why can’t you.
But I couldn’t have done it alone. Thanks to: All of TEAM GARRY, and all those that contributed ideas and suggestions. Thanks to all of Valve, but especially ErikJ, because none of this would have happened without him and to Alfred and Jason for putting up with my many updates.

między czasie kupiono go w 312541 kopiach. Zakładając, że każda kosztowała 9,99 dolara oznacza to, że Garry Newman zarobił na swoim dziele 3,12 miliona dolarów. „GMod dał mi nie tylko stabilność finansową” – napisał Newman na swoimblogu. „Dał mi również duże doświadczenie w c++. Nauczyłem się jak działają silniki gier. Zwiedziłem siedzibę Valve.”. Jakby ktoś nie wiedział to Garry’s Mod pozwala na importowanie modeli z różnych gier i zabawę nimi w dowolny sposób.
So you’re pretty minted then.
Happy Birtday GMod
!!! birthday
Everyone sing along
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to Gmod…
So you’ve made around 15 million dollars right?
I could of sworn one of your blogs said you were making around five digit figures.
Sorry I meant 150 million.
Although that seems far-fetched.
…
I got to learn 2 math.
300,000 copies * $10 per copy = 3 million USD.
~2 million GBP in the current climate.
~50% towards garry = 1 million GBP.
According to my calculations you’re a millionaire.
According to my bank account, I’m not.
I facepalmed on mental arithmetic. >.<
Anyway, what the hell have you spent your money on? Other than apartments and cars that is.
Did you buy Gmod? :3
Garry, you have been chosen for the Irish lottery. We would like you to post your credit/debt card number, security pin, cash machine pin, full home address and full name. :P
Congratulations on the success of Gmod.
You have made
$3125310
£2036363.04
I say wowzers to that
But I guess valve takes money off? Am I right?
Congratulations Garry, and happy birthday GMod!
Valve takes 50. Still, you are a rich fucker.
Congratulations on all your success. You are truly inspiring to other geeks like myself. Thanks for the awesome game that is Garry’s Mod.
I’ve added this info to Wikipedia.
You have made 1mi… I mean, a very nice game! Congratulations with your achievements!
Cool, I remember rushing to buy it when it was released.
The time has gone by so fast..
Happy Birthday indeed, bet you didn’t thtink Garry’s Mod would tern out like this did ya, its come quite a long way since then…
Why does the Wikipedia article quote this post as the source of the napkin mathematics claiming “revenue to over $3,120,000″?
Happy birthday to gmod and congratz to TEAM GARRY for making it such a great game!
holy crap, it’s my birthday today as well… weird.
Congrats Garry!
I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already
sure valve takes half but how much goes for other team garry members?
Congratulations Garry, Just make a New garrys mod and you’ll be swimming in cash!
[...] Mod (the Steam version) is 2 years old today!Source: http://www.garry.tv/?p=694Happy Birthday. Thanks for all the badly coded bike guns and sex [...]
I hope you pay your taxes, capitalist pig!
:v:
How much do you actually have to pay in the UK?
Hooraj! Long live Gmod! Long live Garry!
Congratulations.
Also, I wonder how many copies you sell per week nowadays.
I’m not inspired, just jelous
2 years ago I was shaking with excitement when I started up Garry’s Mod for the first time.
To the people who are trying to calculate his money:
I’m pretty sure that Valve gets half and TEAM Garry gets half, not just Garry. He’s the founder though, so I’d say it isn’t split up evenly, but I have no idea to be honest.
But if it was split up evenly, it would still be a rather large amount, ~$200,000 (over past two years)? My calculations were all done by dollars, no idea how much it costs elsewhere.
Garry, you’re hot.
Garry’s Mod is also hot.
[...] Mod celebrates second birthday, $3.1 million revenue so far According to Garry’s Blog, Garry’s Mod has sold 313,000 copies since its release two years [...]
Remember, he “only” got ½ of the profit made from GMod.
Happy birthday. I remember playing this 2 and 4 years ago. Shit was so cash.
2 years already? Jeez.
About a mil before TAX and looking after the other guys who helped out
He’s gonna be on a high tax band so not quite a million.
Should buy plenty of pot noodles, tizer and other such codery folk type food though.
Congrats though shit head.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday garrysmod
Taxes are a bitch, eh Garry :P
I am proud to have been one of the 300,000. It was worth every penny.
Happy Birthday to Garry’s Mod, and Congratulations to you Garry!
eeh gmod takes away my life… i want to do somthing and every one else is like gtfo playing gmod…. and when i play gmod i wont get off for hours. theres a few weeks of my life wasted siting on the computer instead of doing things
Ah, I remember Version 1.0. The readme said something like “I just made this so I could fuck around in gmod”
Didn’t imagine it going this far, eh?
Happy birthday Garry’s Mod. Remember the wait for it to be released. Great to see the chance Valve took on you pay off and your hard work didn’t go to waste. It’s also great that you still update it.
Thanks Garry and Team Garry! :)
I wait the next excellent game from you Garry ;)
Happy Birthday Garry’s Mod 10 :D Well it’s time to make some cake which is not a lie.
I remember the old days, rope… the very first tool, the 4 letter word that has created this little kingdom on which you perch Garry (team garry forming magor load-bearing sections of its structure).
Im Doing a BTEC in engineering you see…
Has it already been that long? Wow… Just thinking back to the old day’s.
Nice figures! So that’s over $3,000,000 dollars spent on Garry’s Mod.
Congrats Garry, But $10 says that mingebags will start demanding money for “making” Garry’s Mod by suggesting stupid shit.
I think it would sold many many more if only there would be CD/DVD version of it. :P
Anyway.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :D
Congratulations, Garry.
To the “I added this to Wikipedia” guy, get a life.
To garry/gmod: :woop: :woop: :woop: :woop: :woop:
I remember the first time I opened up Gmod. “I can feel teh excitementz!” I said, sweating with anticipation. “It’s gonna be greatz!!”
I was greeted by… a citizen putting a cone onto Gman’s head.
Lame.
I mean, the game was great, but… such a crappy background! And since you built it before the game was released I’m assuming you built it in Gmod 9…
Congratulations. Garry’s Mod is a really great mod…
2 years and still not significant progress, and yet we were promised weekly/monthly updates.
abcpea, shut up. He promised no such thing. He might have said he’d try to. But that’s not the same. Let’s see you make your own so all of us can be an ass toward you. Please?
Congrats Team/Garry.
And there were, but not anymore. The game has moved to a whole new engine, how could Garry have possibly supported it any better?
This is Garry’s Mods 2nd birthday and your whineing about updates? thats not the point, the point is that GMod has come so far (in gameing industry terms) for a small third party company has come this far in two years.
It seems a little egotistical but… as a long-time fan I feel like me and the other GMod players can all share in your achievement a little bit. I’ve been playing GMod since before v7 and I’ve been posting on facepunch since ‘04 and it’s been really incredible seeing the community grow as GMod evolved.
It’s pretty amazing how far you and GMod have come. I’m really looking forward to seeing where you go with Botch or Facewound or whatever it is you end up doing next.
I remember coming in at about version 5.0 or something. When the item spawner was still on the wall.
Me and my brother were trying to make space ships and his kept failing in comical ways. Mine was the first to work, it involved a swing frame with giant gas canisters on either side with Dr. Breen roped to it by the arms. It spiraled perfectly into the sky!
Congratulations Garry.
Somewhere I thought I heard that you were making half of the sale price off of every GMOD sold. GMOD is $10, so that would mean you make $5 off of every one sold. That would mean that with 312,541 sold you would have made around… assuming my math is correct… $1,562,705. That’s not a bad income IMHO.
Congratulations, TEAM GARRY and Garry’s Mod. Also to you, Mr. Garry Newman. Here’s to another two years of success!
2 years of gmod 10 and 4 years of gmod HAPPY BIRTHDAY,,,
I remember when it was originally going to be free but you needed money or somethin like that
Congrats Garry on getting this far, I wish you great success with possibly the best sandbox mod…ever.
Die Hard: Negative. Steam suggested Garry to charge 10 dollars for it, and that would mean full source code access to Garry (+ the update stuff in steam).
I just bought my copy of Garry’s Mod 10. I’ve wanted it for this long, and have held out until today.
Well done Garry, you still got my sale, despite the 2 year gap of when I was first going to get it.
Reading your blog every day, every update, every addition to Garry’s Mod 10, I’ve watched. Like an overly obsessed stalker.
Enjoy my $5, you’ve earned it.
Happy Birthday Gmod :D!
Thanks Team Garry for making this great mod!
@55
Why would he have made the background in Gmod 9? It’s not like he didn’t have #10 working before he released it or didn’t have access to it :downs:
Congrats on the success Garry.
I wonder how long Gmod will live…my guess is for as long as Valve stay with the Source engine.
Glad to have helped.
Go Team Garry!
Garry must get all the bitches. Garry, please share your bitches.
Good thing you remembered to thank your customers.
Asshole.
hehe Fire_cube hehehehehehehe
Gotta say happy birthday to garrys mod and everything, and yeah i remember the day exactly, i came home from school turned my PC on, started Steam as usually and suddenly i say this garrys mod on steam picture and i all spazzed, 3 min after i saw my friend outside the window i told him to get in with his eyes closed and when he saw it on steam he just jumped up and down ! good job garry !
Happy birthday Garry’s Mod … but still the whole post looks like a goodbye post XD
“And it’s my hope that it has inspired other people to do stuff.”
Yeah, you’ve inspired me all right. My steam profile might not show it, but I’ve put hundreds of hours into gmod. It’s given me a better understanding of engineering, physics, and how game engines work. Thanks to you, I got off my arse and went to college. Whenever I doubt if this industry is a good career choice, I just think of gmod.
Can’t believe it’s been 2 years already, was a great fun and it’s always inspiring to read what you’re doing with your new engine.
@55
I’m pretty sure when it was released the background was gman sitting in a pile of melons, the cone one was added later.
Garry, you would make even more money if you were able to put gmod on console, too bad its a very far-fetched idea. Also, putting gmod on sale for the occasion?
[...] 300.000 mal Garry’s Mod Passend zum Geburtstag seiner Modifikation hat Garry in seinem Blog die aktuellen Verkaufszahlen verraten. Demnach haben sich in den vergangen 2 Jahren über 300.000 Spieler die Steam-Version zugelegt. Im Vergleich mit den Zahlen vom letzten Jahr, ergibt sich, dass GMod im ersten Jahr 100.000 und im zweiten Jahr 200.000 gekauft wurde. Die Popularität nimmt also tatsächlich zu. Noch ein Vergleich: Die kostenlose Version 9 wurde nur rund 100.000 mal von Garry’s Mod.de heruntergeladen. Links:Garry.tv: GMod10 is 2 years old today! [...]
Some of you people are think he maybe a millionaire, but I heavily doubt that, because of tax. I reckon Garry had to do a tax self assesment and so, knock at least 20% of the 1 million mark, he’s at most earned £800,000 and even then I reckon he’s had to pay super tax, and then there’s NI contributions etc
Well, at least he’s got a lot of swank to say the least :P
I remember a friend telling me about Garry’s Mod at a new years party in 2004/2005. This was around version 3 or 4 (it changed so frequently) when thrusters were first being introduced.
I’m jealous of your riches but if any developer deserves them, its you.
Cheers and congratulations.
I’m surprised nobody have said it yet, so I’ll just do it.
IT’S OVER 9000!
Wow, ~1.5 mil from a mod, damn garry.
‘grats, garry
ScarT that’s because that meme sucks.
you suck.
Gratz!
many Congratulations from the Danish fan!
you are the greatest.. you’ve definitely inspired me garry!
Wowzers.
Garry has only made US$1,562,705… half of all sales went to Valve. Still impressive.
Yay, congratulations!
Garry, you’ve got a lot to be proud of. Congratulations.
In Zimbabwe you’re a billionaire (:
Thank YOU Garry ;)
Gmod was something garry did instead of jacking off. Now you know kids, don’t jack off or you will loose BIG PROFITS! and stuff.
Also a thanks to the fans? No?
MINGEBAGS GET ALL THE THANKS.
Supposing the 50% going to valve and 50% to Garry is correct, the $1.5 million = £1 million approximately with the current exchange rate BUT bearing in mind that it was released two years ago when the rate was over two dollars to the pound… so it’s somewhere between £750k and £1m. Now what everyone seems to have forgotten is that tax in this country for high earners is 45% (was 40%) before, and then there’s national insurance contributions which brings it closer to 50%…
My estimate is that he earned approximately between £375k and £500k… Am I close?
Woho, GJ Garry, and GZ! :D
Congratulations on the success.
Great work Garry, you totally deserve it. Just be sure to release GMod 11 before your money runs out!
YAY happy birthday Gmod
I wish i could get Gmod 10…. im trying to get Gmod 9 to run without half life 2 or CS:S but no such luck yet lolz also GRATZ GARRY!
Late, i know, but: Happy Birthday from me!!
How about giving us L4D Content& the KI features für NPCs in Gmod as a birthday present? :)
P.S.: I knew it right when i readed this post.. everybody will bitch about the money. Guys.. he made a good and unique Mod, did a good job “selling” the idea to Valve, they have seen the potential.. i think Team Garry deserves every Dollar, no matter how much it is at the end.
@Carsten, I’d rather wait for the EP3 engine, even though that’ll be torture.
I calculate at 50% profit:
$1,562,705 US
1 228 567 EURO
1 045 543 GBP
Great job, Garry, and congratulations.
Looks like everyone has failed at looking at facts, garry didn’t get the $1.5mil in a lump sum, which means the tax would have been lower as he was earning the money over a period of time. Please re-attempt your math, i’m to tired, it’s 4:30am.
Btw: fantastic job garry, can’t wait to see what happens next.
I absolutely loved the gman/cone thing! The look on the guys face made the whole thing hilarious!
Good Effort with the mod: I hope your engine is a success (even if it does use filthy javascript ;)
@110 – Yes earned over two years – Still well above the high earning threshold (£150k in the uk?) so highly taxed.
Congratulations on the success of your game… So are you done with Gmod? Can we expect more updates in the future?
