"My idea of a Netflix for games doesn’t work": Garry's Mod creator says struggling spiritual successor S&box will go free to play as part of major rethink

"I’ve been rethinking what s&box should look like over the past couple of weeks," Newman wrote in an announcement post put up on Steam and the game's website .
