Launch of s&box by Facepunch made $1M on day one, then user reviews flipped negative 🤯
Players blame a plain content shortage: creators aren't producing fast enough and a wave of AI-made modes has flooded the game. Devs point at modders; Harry Newman called policing it «tilting at windmills», promising to remove blatantly weak work but not kill creativity. All launch revenue is being funneled into a user-content support fund and cre...
🚀 After years of restarts and redesigns Facepunch Studios finally launched s&box on Steam, a Source 2-based sandbox giving creators tools to build games across genres.
The platform includes built-in monetization: creators can publish straight to Steam and earn without engine royalties thanks to an agreement with Valve. Devs admit the launch isn't perfect, but call it ready for open release and regular updates with the community. JUMP...
Facepunch launches s&box, the highly anticipated successor to Garry's Mod https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/facepunch-launches-s-box-the-highly-anticipated-successor-to-garrys-mod/
Please, this active "anti-moderation" at #Facepunch needs way more attention! I was just banned by staff for asking for #Moderation in their community!
I have also been silently lurking, mass reporting users who violate #Discord TOS in their server the past week. (so many!)
I was banned right after the first image,
devultj: "get fucked mate"
No warning or asking for what evidence I had. These people are abusers! 🚨

⚡️ s&box from Facepunch Studios has already racked up over 370,000 wishlists pre-launch and about $1.7M in preliminary revenue. Operations director Alister McFarlane says it's a spiritual successor to Garry's Mod, built on Source 2, and will ship robust creator tools for making and publishing community projects.
Valve allows user-made projects to appear in the store with NO-FEE, a real boost for creators. Release is set for A...

It is of note that Garry and a few other staff were banned from that second forum, "Knockout", after Garry replied to the above post:
"To troll the people taking screenshots and posting them here"

This is only the tip of the iceberg of what happens behind the scenes over at #Facepunch
Please help spread the word before #sbox launches at the end of the month! This is going to be a dumpster fire and nobody is reporting on it.
I spent a few days collecting evidence from the #Facepunch #sbox #discord and forum. So far I have sent evidence (in email) to #yongyea #bellularnews and #Valve
I could use more video game news journalists to forward this info to! This is high tier right-wing toxicity going on in leadership and the word needs to be spread!
The devs are also pro #AI and delete their own messages.

Je crois qu'il y a vraiment quelque chose de révolutionnaire (j'assume le terme) qui se joue avec l'arrivée de #SAndBox (s&box) sur #Steam (28 avril 2026).
Le créateur de Garry's Mod ( #GarryNewman ) avec son studio #Facepunch et l'accord de #Valve, donnera accès en #OpenSource au moteur de jeu #Source2
Un concurrent libre à #Roblox et même carrément une entrée dans le développement de #JV au plus grand nombre.
