Everybody who buy GM will get a private copy with a private registration key, without DRM, and activation. So if somebody bought GM and decided to pirate it by uplading it, the thief can be easily identified by the private install package he/she got after purchase. My other idea:

DRM caused me several problems on my machine earlier. (FarCry2) No, I really bought it! I will pay more for GM8 than than the official price if they release it later without DRM!

I have been waiting for this new version of Gamemaker for quite a while. Please don't make we wait longer! Thank you! My vote is release now with Softwrap. Softwrap is awesome! The wait for a reply from Softwrap is much shorter than is the wait to make a entirely new system. Plus I would be nervous about the reliability of the new system, not that I doubt Mark could do it, it's just that Softwrap has fast response time- yoyo doesn't.

YYG have promised so many things (online highscores, revenue for developers, more competitions, etc) but rarely deliver. I doubt they'd be able to create a stable fully-featured DRM system. Also, I've never had a single problem with Softwrap. I voted yes to having Softwrap now because I don’t think YYG will be able to provide a system that is any better than Softwrap.

I don't want to wait people. The unique excuse is that they had to pay for a new product to softwrap or for more time, but come on, time is money. Kids are gonna ask to their parents for game maker as a Christmas gift (pretty expensive though daa).
