Holy shit, I can't even imagine the amount of mods that will get erased. There were so many fan-mods, maps, minigames, models... Fucking Nintendo...

I get the sentiment here, but it is absolutely hilarious to compare gmod content to the library of alexandria.

Also wasn't that library's burning not as bad as everyone says? I thought we had copies of most of the stuff for some reason. Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

There was never really "a burning" that destroyed it in one go. Over many years, there were numerous factors that caused many of the works to be lost. Some were lost to smaller fires, some were stolen, some just disintegrated due to age. If no one bothered to copy them by hand to have more than one copy, that was that.
