I think that Apple still can’t stop ports of Game Maker games. The games would still have to go through the iPhone SDK and submission process. By “direct” it most likely means ported and submitted rather than directly published. That doesn’t violate Apple policy. After all, its essentially the same as writing code in Notepad and pasting into iPhone SDK.

The last 3 comments stating it won’t happen don’t make much sense. They may have focused on the iPhone in the post but notice that it says “Phones, portable devices, and handhelds” which means they might even make it for the DS. What i would love is a free psp version that I can put on the pandora when it comes out.

Simon Donkers is right. Apple will not allow programs to work like Game Maker, with an application that acts as a runner for a file. It’s insecure and sluggish, two things Apple wants nothing to do with. At least it should be coming out on Mac someday.

The Apple SDK licence forbids envoronments like Flash, Java and also Game Maker that allow developers to create software outside the control of Apple.
See also the news some time ago that Java announced a JVM but later retracted that statement after it read the licence agreement.

@Stc043 We could have yes but considering what you posted is available for anyone to see anyway there would be little point in this.
