Sooo not trying to be "that" guy but before the sale the game was 69 full lisence (I have the 12 month) and now it was 79 if I remember correctly so the sale actually made it more expensive so what gives yo?
And from this side of the table, everything confused me; the gm2 humble deal, the yoyo upgrade offer, the end of gm1.4, maybe the coffee on the laptop started it.
HB has currently many promo, one is "GameMaker Studio 2: Desktop (at 75)", the other "GameMaker Studio 2: Creator Windows (at 26)". There's also a "GM2 web (at 150)" and "GM2 fire (at 150)".
They all have the same description:
Unlimited Resources
Dedicated Support Forum
Windows Desktop Export
Windows IDE
Only the export is different. I was after the windows desktop export. I couldn't understand why one was at 26 and the other at 75. I thought, "must be the macOS Export + Ubuntu Export". Then I've noticed the 12 month licence on one, but none of the other versions had something saying "permanent licence". I thought "GM2 is now more expensive, sad compared to 1.4". In Yoyo's blog, there's a discount on upgrade to go from V1 to V2. And it is said 1.4 will no longer be supported after july 31. I was afraid to see my permanant 1.4 licence becoming temporary after upgrading. So I took the HB offer at 26 before it expires, like this I will have both v1 and v2. I told myself I've all the time, I will finish the project on 1.4 and download later the new version to discover what's new; not good to activate the new licence when I don't know to work with GM2.
Oops, to redeem and link V2 to the account, through yoyo's website, it activates the licence without the need to download GM2! I'm saying this because dashboard writes "expiry: 26 Jul 2019". And this is not a win64.
And now I read here that 75 is permanent. And now I view "permanent" in dashboard. And I read that 1.4 will still be available to download; wow, this is great (no irony), thanks yoyo; and thanks to someone's advice in the forum, I did a backup of the project, nothing is lost.
I don't know if the computer will survive the coffee, I'm letting it dry before reassembling. But I feel that I've lost my money in the HB deal. Yeah, my fault. Is it there a way to change this since I've not installed and not downloaded GM2? I would like to turn it into a permanant licence. I think I will have to explain to HB first and pay the difference , but I redeemed the code, am I supposed to explain the case here, first?
