I think it's important for people to remember that S&Box is ultimately a platform for creating games. You are given an incredibly flexible toolset, pretty much the entirety of Source 2 toolkit that has been modified to be expansive to shape to your own creative will. Of course, in the first few days of the release, you're not going to find many games out there. Garry's stance on publishing games without taking royalties is incredibly generous too. You can publish your games on steam without paying any fees to them (aside from the obvious standard steam fee). Facepunch is pretty receptive to feedback too which is neat.

Some people are concerned with people polluting the market with "AI Slop" games, I understand and agree entirely. I wish it could be filtered and moderated, but ultimately that's up to us users to leave bad reviews on these published games. Unless they somehow figure out how to get this automatically curated but I can't see it happening - such automation could lead to draconian flaggings.

Ultimately, right now... Yep. The confusing UI, the layouts being a bit sketchy, the rough optimisation, the void of lack of games is going to be really coarse for a long while - maybe for the most part of this year. A rocky start is to be expected, much like how it was with their other titles.

All in all. Think of this as an expansive Source 2 SDK - not gmod2. Let them cook.
