I hadn't heard news on s&box for a long time. When I saw the poker video, I audibly laughed out loud. If s&box can be a less exploitative, and more adult-oriented version of Roblox, I think they're onto something wonderful. Given that >50% of the Roblox userbase wasn't alive when Garry's Mod first released on Steam[1], I'd love to see a proper essayist (video or written) do a proper retrospective on the influence that the game had on the industry. Was it the first commercially successful "The Game Engine Is The Game"? It came out around the same time as Falling Sand(2005). Falling Sand was similar in that it had no objectives, but I doubt many would call them the same, as GMod truly encouraged players to create their own game types within the sandbox. Personally, I have yet to experience a variant on Prop Hunt or Trouble in Terrorist Town that truly felt like it "elevated" those genres beyond the modes I played as a kid on different GMod servers. But perhaps I haven't given the newer games a fair chance. 1: https://backlinko.com/roblox-users#age-distribution-of-roblox-user-base https://backlinko.com/roblox-users#age-distribution-of-roblo...
