I am very surprised I see no other forum posts talking about this! Why did Yoyogames make GM 2's free edition way worse than GM 1's! This screws over so many people including myself. I teach a GameMaker course at my local CoderDojo, a place where people come and volunteer to teach kids how to code. And now my class is going to have to be either shut down or it will be drained of students because I have to tell them "You can't export and share your games now with Gm 2". What student would come to a class knowing what they learn and what the make they can't share?! Please Yoyo! Don't do this! I get you're trying to push Gamemaker 2, but please push it in a manor that doesn't drive new learners away! Why couldn't you just make the free edition of GM 2 the same as the free edition of Gm 1?! With GM 1 I could tell my students "You can make whatever Windows game you want, and the only limitation is it's Windows only and you have a very short non-intrusive splash screen!". These reasons were also why I got into GameMaker! These reasons seemed like a jackpot of simple game-engines to me! But now I have to tell them "You can run it only on windows and you can't even export it to share, you can only run your game when you're in the game engine." Please Yoyo! Even though I already have a GM 1 professional license I feel like I should switch engines because I supported a company who would do this!
