Reposting my comment from another thread because it needs to be made clear:
Those mod devs are absolute assholes.
As per the decompiled code, the game will refuse to load in certain cases with the message "Upgrade your PC, the current hardware is just ridiculous." I can understand not wanting to field support requests from extremely outdated hardware, but being condescending and not even giving players the option to try playing it...
One of the devs stream ids from the decompiled code:

Why am I not surprised that they're Russian ๐
And while the other guy may not be a Russian (at least he doesn't admit it) he's still a pretty awful person. One of his most recent post replies is talking about how great killing LGBT people would be, and how he'd be for that since it would "destroy the LGBT in small parts" and somehow lead to "fully destroying LGBT".
Not surprising whatsoever.
I used to help test Gmod mods and this was common to find. Sometimes the author would even try to embed an obfuscated check for their own steamid to give them God rights over the multiplayer game session.
We would collect those steam IDs and add them to the ban list. And often switch mods all together.
That's honestly stupid of them to try that, they should know they'd get banned quickly for doing that. It's not like we can't figure it out pretty easily even if they try to obfuscate it, Steam emulators exist that can be used to find that kind of behavior even if you couldn't decompile to see it.
Garry himself has that in gmod. There is an achievement that's "played with Garry".
"You are too poor for this mod, peasant", basically.
