Yoyogames, the creators of Game Maker, are deciding to delete some 150000 tools and games after being bought out by PlayTech.

>The sandbox is now very much a deprecated and legacy part of our website and in many ways functionally replaced by the Player

>if you wish to preserve your content it will need to be backed up before the 8th of April before the Sandbox is closed as the content will not be archived

you're not thinking like a merchant

>buy company

>see the company is hosting completely FREE entertainment (oyvay)

>QUICKLY DELETE IT SO THEY ARE FORCED TO BUY GAMES INSTEAD OF GETTING THEM FOR FREE

Some guys in that thread seem genuinely sad to see all that stuff go, ya think we should setup torrents for a bunch of the games on there just to piss off the merchant?

there are over 2 weeks left so I bet some autist is already figuring out how to archive everything

If you look at the thread there's some guy who says he's going to try but he has to do it manually because of the captcha and has to get permission from the developer of every single one or else playtech'll sue him.

This is what typical Software as a Service outside of your control does if you allow it. Some dedicated autist who's out of the loop for whatever reason is probably going to lose his shit over seeing years of his work gone and end up killing himself.

I've downloaded like 6 games, I'll try and do more later. Anyone wanna help? Just grab anything you can find and put it on pomf or wakaba or something

What about captcha solving sites? <$5 for 1000.

Anonymous 03/22/16 (Tue) 10:33:00 No.548334

How many people actually made real games using this shit anyway? The only game I can think of is Nuclear Throne. Do you even 'own' the source code since GML is specific to game maker?

Risk of Rain

Hotline Miami

Undertale

I'm sure there's a lot more, those are just well-known.
