If, like me, you like statistics then good. Here is some information about the number of user registrations at various GameMaker related websites. Most figures are approximations.
English GameMaker Websites
- YoYo Games – 87,000
- Game Maker Community – 60,500
- GameMakerGames – 1,600
- 64Digits – 4,300 – It has been so long since the site has been up this figure is probably wrong. Just like the site.

This post was written 1 year 4 months ago. GMArcade was founded around this time so would have had few or no members when this was posted.
