Author Topic: If BL wasn't pay-to-play any longer, roughly how many players would we have?  (Read 3023 times)

Why pay 20 dollars for this when you could pay 6 for GMod? Just saying.
Many reasons, actually;
One being, Gmod is not $6.
It's $10. And Gmod can't run by itself, it is a source game. Thus you need to invest in Counterstrike, Team Fortress 2, or the best supporter, Half Life 2. This could wrack up to about $30. You could get deals like Half Life + Counterstrike + Garrysmod for say, $20.
In the end Gmod costs more than $6, more than even it's own price.
Blockland is $20. Done deal, pretty much (unless you're glass than it's like $400)
And it's all about likeness. Would someone play Garrys mod or Blockland for, physics? Characteristics, playertypes. I personally would take both, as I've done. I just don't have a computer that can run Garrys mod the fanciest.

You don't need a source game to run Garry's Mod?

or you just connect via IP like minecraft.
UUUGHHHhhhh

I hope this never happens, Minecraft has the most difficult server hosting ever
Can't we just put a server list on the forums with a join button and stuff
then we don't need a master server

except it's easier to do it ingame
and we alreadt have it

meh, blockland demo is good enough

Well said, dill. In the end, it does come down to computer specs and personal likes. Although, if I could run G-Mod, I would still play BL all the time.

As far as I know, you do. That or you'd play Gmod barebone with almost nothing? I think it's default source is Half Life 2 and you can have some small aspect of the game within the vanilla Gmod, but it's best recommended to actually get a game that would support Gmod.
Back in my day it said you needed a source game to run it, so who knows now.

Thank you.
