He only broke Gmod for pirates....
Then why do non-pirates have issues every time Garry updates GMod?
Not here, but elsewhere, I see people respond to issues with "oh, it must be pirated" or "oh, only pirates have X Y Z issue" and it is annoying. Especially considering that it is nothing more than a blind assumption with 0 basis in reality - especially given the history of issues whever Gmod is updated. Legit users are just as prone to developer fuckups as anybody else.

Been legit for the entire 3 + yrs I've been on Steam and have had issues like every non-pirate who had issues as well, when Gmod was broken by an update.
