I am wondering how long the discount for buying GMS2 from GMS will last. I don't really think you guys are ready to give an exact date, but I was wonderng, does anyone know if it will last until Christmas? (for present reasons)

Thank you!

As with most discounts or sales, it usually goes like this:

Those who want to know can not tell.
Those who know do not want to tell.


With that said, I am unable to provide an exact date.

You'll never get even a month that it'll end but it's pretty safe to say it'll last until GameMaker Studio 2 is out of Beta at the very least.

We are still in a Beta period and the Official Launch is not scheduled until q1 2017. It doesn't make sense to terminate upgrade pricing prior to the launch of the product.

Personally, I think that the upgrade discount should be perpetual; so long as you have a valid license of GMS1.x, you should be able to get the discount. That said, YYG have said that it would be for a limited time. It doesn't matter to me -- I bought mine already. But if I decide to buy other modules later, and I can't get the discount, I'll be frowny.

Well I will wait then, and try out the beta some more. Perhaps the winter sale will be better.

Thanks everyone!

i wouldn't count on the number of sales and as attractive sales as YYGs offered on 1.4.

This is a new product and YYGs sales got to the point where a lot of people didn't buy, specifically waiting for a sale. I don't think this will happen for 2.0 for a while.

Oh that makes sense, thank you
