World of Warcraft plugins and Awesome WM configs. There are some decent 2d game engines that use Lua too, like Love2d!
To my surprise, I just found out that my favorite e-books launcher was entirely developed with Lua.
Can you share its name ?
Koreader. I don’t know why I didn’t in the first place. lol

The helldivers 2 developers, for whatever reason
probably because it uses the Autodesk Stingray engine which, this is more interesting than the Lua usage. It’s a dead engine for long while but I’m surprised to find people who still just use it.
also Subnautica
Don’t forget the Silverbullet users.
Balatro, gmod, srb2 modding.

Don’t forget Gmod modders!
Gmod is the first thing I think of when I hear Lua.
Glua is bizzaro world Lua though.
It was so, so, so much worse back in the early days when the FacePunch forums still… existed.
Probably a majority of forum posts, for years, were people screaming at Garry for making posts that just said something like ‘its obvious how this function works, I don’t need to explain it’, and then oops turns out he did it wrong, new gamebreaking bug / exploit exists for 3 weeks, the first week of which was random forum people telling Garry he did it wrong and him temp or perma banning them.
That or he would very often just rewrite entire core function libraries, make a tiny 8 word bullet point about it in an avalanche of a changelog, and then say something like, ‘shouldn’t break existing code’, and then well, it would completely break existing game mode code, and then 80% of the most played custom game modes would be broken for a month or more while Garry just either ignored everyone, or told them he didn’t care.

Also, Roblox just is Gmod in many ways, but with a highly manipulative monetization model built in.
All the Gmod RP servers would paygate player roles and content and such offsite, outside of the game, setup a webpage or forum that worked as an ecommerce site, run a dedi db and then API connect that into Gmod… Roblox is all of that, but self contained, and with a lot more lawyers on hand to prevent monetization outside of the game itself.
