Not using a cracked version, honest
Filed under: Comment
The GMC help someone who provides no logical explanation as to why they want to use version Game Maker 6.1 instead of the latest version 7 on Vista. They wouldn’t happen to be using a cracked version of the software would they,….?
It’s $20 people, that’s not much. If you want the pro version of the software buy it. It’s not hard. Is it?
This reminds me of a few other issues, including one member who actually posted in the forum asking for help to crack gamemaker. It also appears that some of Game Maker Blog’s traffic is coming from people who are actively looking for Game Maker 6 cracks - heck, I expect even more of them will come here now because of the keywords in this post.
In the past month just over 25% of visitors to gamemakerblog came from a search engine, and as well as a mysteriously high amount of searches for naruto ninja way, it appears that a lot of people are expecting to find game maker cracks here. Well sorry to disappoint you but there aren’t any here, so if like 7 other people this month you are looking for a ‘game maker 7 activation code’, thanks for stopping by.

I hate this… people need to just buy the software, game maker dosn’t have a wide industrial base, so if its users stop purchasing it… well, no more game maker.

I hate people who try to crack GameMaker, like one of my friends, he found a crack for GM7 and he said it was really easy and I got so mad at him, that I went onto his computer and deleted GM7 and the crack, and when he complained to me I said to him “Just buy the damn thing! I did! It’s 20 bucks, thats not even half my paycheck!” and he finally realized I was right and he’s gonna buy GM7 soon. Still though, I think its pretty stupid to crack GM7, even with the registration problems, it’s 20 dollars people! 20 bucks!

Personally, I’m still a GM6 user. And I’m registered there. The reason isn’t because of a crack but because, when I tried to upgrade, my computer crashed gloriously. I don’t really want to repeat the process and I’m happy with GM6 for now. There aren’t any great changes which I want to take advantage of at the moment.
But…maybe I’ll try again some time. When the next version does, I will.
And don’t tell me to contact YYG/Softwrap because, like I said, I’m really not too fussed about upgrading anyway. The differences are minute.

I won’t tell you to contact them, I have had experience of contacting them.

Some people just do not know how to setup online payment stuff, therefore, that is why people are looking for cracks, also, why not use Google Adsense to get money for Game Maker so we don’t have to pay for a pro version?

No people are looking for cracks because they are too lazy to work out how to use PayPal which is very simple.
YoYoGames make their own business decisions.

It’s because of the new softwrap system, it says some working codes don’t work. Use google people!

I hate Game Maker 7. It’s slower than game maker 6 and has almost no updated capabilities. I don’t see any reason to cut out a lot of people who can use my games just so I don’t get accused of using a hack.

Hi.
I agree that you should not hack or crack game maker.
Unless of course you cannot obtain it any other way.
I for example cannot buy game maker, i dont have a single dollar, nor does my mother since she doesnt have any job.
She cant work due to an injury, nor can i since im 14 years old.
I know that hacking or cracking game maker breaks both the law and the EULA.
I am very sad to say that i do use a hacked exe, and i am not at all proud. I really hope that i some day can buy the complete version to make up for the hack.

They should make an option that’s pay-by-phone… I love that method. Until then… silly lite version for me x.x

Coffee: Perhaps there are a few of us who truly can’t buy the registered version (like me and Annon)
I admit to using a hacked version, but I admit it without shame.
