Garry’s Mod (Beta) On Steampipe: Experimental Linux Support

That’s right, Garry’s Mod (Beta) is now available for the Linux Steam client. To join the new beta you’ll have to guess the beta access code. It’s the same as the secret word in game. Unfortunately the Linux build is broken but with hourly updates that should get sorted. 

Update: Garry’s Mod (Beta) is confirmed working on our Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit test box.

About:
Garry’s Mod is a physics sandbox. Unlike regular games there aren’t any predefined aims or goals. We give you the tools and leave you to play. You spawn objects and weld them together to create your own contraptions – whether that’s a car, a rocket, a catapult or something that doesn’t have a name yet – that’s up to you.
