man game maker 8.1 reminded me of my post-high school days when the worst thing to worry about was the encomny going to the dogs.
but man I hated then game maker become a subscription services just put a price tag for me to buy it out right!
Totally agree! Mine and most other's faith in any engine company has been shattered thanks to Unity. So I'll be using and supporting open source engines as much as possible now, which is ultimately a good thing. Thanks for your sacrifice, Unity. 😜
So I'll be sticking with GameMaker Studio 1 for now (as it's an abandon product with no connected services) and only ever use Studio 2 if I want to release on console.
