I've only touched GM a little bit, but I figure someone here will be interested to know this.

To get your license, you need to download and install GameMaker, then select Beta and update. Kind of confusing, but it worked for me.

Hmm, not sure if I'd actually use it to make games and not, but hey, free is free. I'm off to download it now.

Holy shit, this literally came like one day after I paid for it, haha. (Though I had a GameMaker 8 license already beforehand, so I got a big discount just from that.)

Aaand the site is down right now. What a load of slime.

Typically considered one of the best, from what I've heard.

Doesn't look any good to me, but maybe the sceenshot just isn't showing me anything I find appealing.

That and I don't think my computer can handle anything high-end.

It's ok, a bit (...ok, a lot) clunky at times, but it's fairly flexible. It can be a real pain to work with at times, and the interface leaves a lot to be desired, but for the most part, it works well enough for certain tasks.

Can you make money off anything made in Standard Edition, or do you have to buy Professional for that? Also, does the license expire in a year, or do you keep it forever until you get a new PC?

You can export to Windows and to Mac, so I guess you could sell that. I could very well be mistaken though. As for how long the license lasts, I have no idea.
