GameMaker Studio review by Charles_Random

Terrible app. The 30 day trial is wildly insufficient for an amateur to learn its clunky and byzantine interface in their spare time, and the price they charge for the permanent service is astonishing. Further, a terribly designed account service that doesn't even grant the option to delete a user account without a back-and-forth rigmarole with a data controller over emails. Finally, a small deceit; when the 30 day trial expires, the device prompts the user to "renew their license", but it will not accept the same email twice. Entering a new email forces a download for the newer edition, even if that newer edition is worse for the user's purposes. Don't buy the hype; it's possible to make a game in this software, but it's not worth the hassle, the cost and the abominable service. Use almost any other gamemaking software besides this garbage.
