As for my profile, there's nothing there. I don't even know if this is the public link to it. I don't play online, and current budgetary and hard drive constraints don't permit me to buy any newly released games. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7...994848266/home I updated steam client and Gmod last night and there's no issues. So, yeah, I bought Gmod and Gary called me a pirate.

Reply 1st July 2012 Post #5 Anarchist86ed April 2012 40 Posts Garry's mod and half life 2, are the only steam games I have. And I don't even want half life 2 because it makes me sick every time I try to play it. It's working and fully up to date now, so I don't know what the problem was. But this was ridiculous.

You don't get these errors for no reason, the other threads with the people having this problem were usually found to be using cracked Steam games of some sort.

Garry Newman, of Garry's Mod, has revealed that he's introduced a deliberate error into the latest version of his game with the intention of identifying http://www.bit-tech.net/news/gaming/2011/04/13/garry-s-mod-traps-pirates-with-error/1 pirates. The update causes a 'Unable to shade polygon normals' error in pirated https://torrentfreak.com/garrys-mod-creator-trolls-pirates-with-prank-drm-110413/ versions of the game. 'Just enabled this error in GMod today. It happens when you pirated it. Having fun watching people complain.' Garry said on Twitter. As well as damaging the game experience for pirates, the error also includes the user's SteamID within in - meaning that pirates can be identified when they unable to paste the error online while looking for help. This means their Steam accounts can then be banned. (UPDATE: Garry has since confirmed to Bit-Gamer that accounts are not being banned, as was originally reported.) A quick scan of the official Garry's Mod forums reveals pirates who have even headed back to Garry for help fixing the error.

In fact it's a shame he publicised it so quickly with the new build.

Gives Them Cars On: 16/10/2016 Comments: 0 Garry's Mod Creator Trolls Pirates With Prank DRM By Ernesto on April 13, 2011 C: 176 A subset of Garry's Mod users have been noticing a hugely annoying bug lately. Upon launching the game they get the message that it's "unable to shade polygon normals," after which the Steam-run game quickly crashes. In a response to thousands of complaining users, the game's creator has now admitted that the bug is actually a feature, but one that only affects those who pirated the game. The danger of applying DRM to any software is that the pirated copy can turn into a more desirable product than the retail version. That is, those who download a copy illegally are actually better off than legitimate customers who chose to spend their hard earned cash to purchase it through the usual channels. The paradox above has gone unnoticed by many copyright holders who don't appear to realize that in many instances DRM does them and their customers more harm than good. However, that doesn't mean that DRM is inherently evil. There are examples of how DRM could work, at least, if executed successfully. Garry Newman, the creator of the popular game Garry's Mod which allows Steam users to alter the appearance of Source engine based games, has come up with such an elegant form of DRM.

However, affected users who thought that the tweet meant that their problems would be fixed soon were wrong. The ‘bug' is actually a feature that was put in the game as an anti-piracy measure, a form of DRM really. After getting a few responses to his call for bug reports, Garry's Mod's creator Newman tweeted the following: Although thi
