GameMaker is going free for non-commercial use

We're updating GameMaker’s pricing and adding more free options. Plus free asset bundles for everyone!

Plus switching from the subscription model to a one-time fee for commercial PC-only license. Nice.

I enjoyed this part of the announcement:

We have seen other platforms making awkward moves with their pricing and terms, so we thought, what if we did the opposite

I wonder who they could possibly be referencing 🤔

Funny, I was looking at the gamemaker pricing earlier this week and thinking about how it was absurd to be a subscription
- Perhaps losing you was the final straw that convinced them to change
  
  Oh no I hadn't used it before

Well that was unexpected! I'm glad to see them go back to a one-time fee, that previous switch was basically the final nail in the coffin that cemented my migration to Godot at the time
- Encouraging to see that lessons can still be learned, at least!
