If you're royal, don't you have more than enough money to pay for GM8...? “I already proved my royalty to them.”

If you’re royal, don’t you have more than enough money to pay for GM8…?

All they say is bullshit. Company don't make that much profit with product upgrade. Fuck you Yoyo, don't think i'm ignorant. Hey! I have my license of Game Maker since version 5. Why I should pay again? I used this program so many times, I already proved my royalty to them. It's sure, one day they will die if they continue like this. After 17 years of experience, I know what I say. If they think I will give money for this upgrade! The program is the same. If one day they really improve it, I will pay. But 8 is the 7, with news and speed. Wow! Really! Good job! Long live to cracks! I think this is stupid.

I’m glad because nothing about it has shown me I wouldn’t have regretted upgrading, and at the time the system requirements for GM7 games were pretty absurd. I think I’m going to be upgrading to GM8, because the combined features of GM7 and GM8 are actually pretty compelling, but it’s the same as last time, if I had upgraded to 7, there are only like 2 or 3 new features for version 8. It’s pathetic, really. And if I have even one problem with softwrap, I’m going to crack it. I won’t let my work suffer because of a crappy DRM implementation. Yoyogames gave us those two options because they knew which one we would pick. I don’t believe they ever had any intention of developing a new DRM or sales website, and I don’t think they would be capable of doing it even if they had wanted to. So far, they haven’t really implemented anything that Mark couldn’t have done by himself, except maybe instant play, which is pretty sad. </blockquote> 2 or 3 more options to pay for is more money for a person who created a brilliant program that keeps 1000s of ppl ammused every day.. i think its worth it. its simple if they dont make money they stop making the program, because the work doesnt justify the profit. i mean seriously its like 30 dollars...

WoW. I thought they were the new newgrounds/youtube for indie games. They need to use that potential and take over the world! LOL, and we can be lead with the gm-smileys on our clothing. wow, something is wrong here. 90% of yoyo’s revenue is from gm pro users. WoW.
