Dissociation
Looking at gmlscripts.com following a suggestion from Leif902 brought something back into my mind. Dissociation.
Dissociation: describes the disconnection or lack of connection between things usually associated with each other.
At the bottom of every page of the GMLScripts website there is a line which reads
GMLscripts.com is not affiliated with Mark Overmars, The Game Maker Company, or YoYo Games.
A single sentence which makes it clear that GML Scripts is not part of the same group as the above mentioned entities. I have seen similar sentences around the Internet for example on sites about AdSense dissociating themselves with Google and on unofficial sites devoted to certain topics.
When I was setting up this blog in April I considered adding a similar sentence to the footer of the site, but I didn’t. True adding it may help boost my search rankings by increasing the concentration of the words “Game Maker” on the site but I never got around to it.
Personally I don’t think I will add a dissociation statement on gamemakerblog unless some confusion arises or I get a letter from the incompetent people at YoYoGames (whoops, I probably will now). Of course I should backup my claim with evidence so here goes:
- GM Rumours: YYG’s terms, Gamemaker Trademark
- GMC topics: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8
What unbelievable unbelievably-none-existent customer support they have.
Don’t call YoYo games incompetent.. You’ll soon know why..
At least I didn’t call them impotent
I’m confused, Eyas. Everyone at GM King keeps dropping hints about something they plan to do with YoYo Games…what’s going on?!
Very soon.
I will neither confirm nor deny.

Well. I’ve put my suspicions in my blog. I may be wrong though
I often am.
If you want me to change anything, just say. I don’t want to spoil your big moment when you announce your official bond with YoYo Games as partners, you developing their magazine and suchlike.
…whoops?
My suspissions were first arroused when I saw Robin and Eyas being given a big bag of money in the YoYoGames offices which is opposite my flat. I didn’t think anything of it at the time. But now you come to mention it, it all seems so clear.
I’ve found more evidence since…but I shan’t reveal my sources (though they’re pretty damn obvious
)
Oh you mean the photo,…
heh made me laugh
(Yup, That’s all folks)
It’s far too blatent, the pipes at GMKing must be made of water – constant leaks.
Obviously an attempt to stir up publicity, are you waiting for the leak to reach the GMC?
Hmmmmm
*thinks….*
YUP!
