  "account": "Garry Newman, the creator of Garry's Mod and founder of Facepunch Studios, has announced a significant update to the characters in s&box. Previously, the characters did not have necks, but this has now been changed. Newman explains that the decision was based on consistent negative feedback about the characters. Players can now adjust various aspects of the character's body, including the neck size. If players prefer the original look with no necks, they can adjust this with a slider. While this update is not a complete fix for s&box, it addresses a frequently mentioned issue among negative reviews. Newman emphasizes that the change is not the only improvement coming to the game, but it is one of many addressing the concerns of players.",
