People did live without electricity, gas and phone lines for several millennia. Does that mean they can cut them off? And if you were provided with free gas, heating, electricity and transportation for years and then quickly cut off for no reason, you'd be troubled as well.

You'd be troubled, but you probably wouldn't have legal grounds to sue for hundreds of thousands of dollars. This guy would be lucky to get his account re-enabled, even if he is actually innocent. Facebook pretty much owes him nothing.

Starcraft 2 map/mod makers mainly focus on stirring up a bunch of bullshit drama in order to gain visibility. This seems to often take the form of them using words or phrases that are explicitly not allowed and then bitching when they inevitably get shut down by blizzard.
Thanks to the current implementation of the custom map system on battle.net, gameplay and other such minor details are secondary concerns.

My gut is that there is something fundamental we aren't getting. Like we are missing some basic software pack. It' works, but when ever we try to add models to it, specifically the tools need to create trains and rails, it never loads them.

A lot of stuff that people use to build things in garry's mod doesn't come with the game.
There are some addons that are so widely used that they're practically required. At a minimum I would recommend "PHX Model Pack 3" and "Wire Mod".

They can be downloaded and updated via SVN:
https://phoenix-storms.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/phoenix-storms
https://wiremod.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wiremod/trunk/wire/

Adding a folder in gmod's "addons" folder and putting the files in it is sufficient for installing an addon.

Additionally, content from other source games such as Half-Life 2, TF2, and Counterstrike is also widely used. Installing those may help with missing models/textures.

I imagine catering to a less skilled but broader audience translates into higher sales. It's all about numbers, you know.

Also, it seems that people are increasingly willing to buy watered down shit, ignoring quality and focusing on theme. I'm looking at you, sports games.
