Implying Gmod to HL2

BUR #51412 has been rejected.

create implication garry's_mod -> half-life_2

This one’s more up in the air but given its a mod for HL2 that uses the same assets (I’d argue it maybe should be implied to it’s parent game.

Gmod is absolutely its own game, regardless of what assets it uses. Is your next BUR going to be trying to imply Counter-Strike to Half-Life for the same reason? Or Call of Duty to Medal of Honor?

Please stop making all these trash BURs on topics and franchises you don't know or understand.

Don't see the point of this, it's like trying to make a bur to imply Portal please don't to Half-Life

The problem with doing this is that you then have to imply Garry's Mod to the other Source Engine games as well which means that if you add Garry's Mod to one post then it will also add every other game due to the implication. For example, a post that features no assets from Team Fortress 2 would get that tag. See what the problem is?

Garry's Mod is a sandbox game that features assets from other Source games but it is also the source (haha) of many little things that artists may specifically draw such as gamemodes (think Nextbots) or memes even down to its iconic template map as a background. It is, by all accounts, substantially different enough to be worth tagging; and we don't need to imply things to each other just because they share something in common. Genshin Impact isn't implied to Honkai (Series). You could probably find some examples - though I'm not familiar enough with them to recount - with Western copyrights.

I know plenty, Gmod is a childhood favorite in fact and one I still dabble in from time to time, Garry's mod is a sandbox of HL2 assets and not a wholly new game like say CSS, While I can accept being wrong here I suppose it's not lack of knowledge
