RA - YoYo Games

Posted by RhysAndrews on Jan. 27, 2007, 8:03 a.m.

As I have my connections, I've known about the YoYo Games "movement" since quite a while before they announced it. I could well assume it would shake and break the GMC. The reason why, is because there's just too many fools on the GMC who want to make accusations and conclusions on the YYG Service before they even know much about it! Firstly, though Mark had clearly explained that there won't be any more money being requested to be taken out of your pocket, the GMC recieves pages and pages of replies about people thinking that YoYo Games is going to mean costing extra to use GameMaker - such as having to buy it to use it at all, etc…

No matter how much people would respond "Mark has explained - this is at no extra cost", these people kept whinging about it. FINALLY, Mark made it clear once again, and they stopped breeding the rumour. But oh no, now they're starting up another stupid rumour - "YoYo Games will put spyware and adware into GameMaker". What idiot is stupid enough to think that? I am 100% convinced that there's a few people out there making things up to get the GMC shaken. I'm getting sick of this! If people don't have good feelings about YYG, then don't use it when it comes out! It's not going to affect the GMC much at all, so stop whinging. We appreciate your opinion and all, but if you're expressing it in a way that you've already concluded how YYG will work before it has actually been released… you're just narrow-minded.

I well understand a lot of you hate the GMC, and a lot of you are angry with Mark about GM7. But I'm sure most of you at least have the common courtesy of looking around for evidence before making judgements. Check out what some fool wrote:

This is just really a bad thing. We will have to pay twice as more as now, there will be adware and viruses in GM, our creations will surely be taken from us and distributed as Yoyo Games products. Also GML will become harder and therefore Game Maker will lose its purpose as an easy game creation tool. Mark, you really disappointed me.
Keep in mind, we've made it clear that there'll be no changes in costs, and YoYo Games isn't touching GameMaker… Also, he's saying this in full confidence before everyone even knows exactly how YYG will work. I mean come on. This is becoming rediculous.

So please, express your opinion on the YYG "movement" here - but state some good reasons as to why you're for or against it - and judge on good accounts, not on lame rumours spread by idiots on the GMC. I'd love to hear you opinions.

I hate that steal and post thing, we won't be able to do anything about it if it happens.

My opinion is slightly biased due to the fact that it'll likely draw away from my visitors, but whatever, not like I'm getting anything out of the visitors. XD

Yeah, I was thinking that too. But that aside, I'm pretty optimistic about this.

Only time will tell.

Well cheer up people, think of the good things that will come out of this! Though it is the members fault that Mark is doing this, they don't like Game Maker anymore so Mark has to do something.

Your Mark's mailman, stop stooping through his mail! >:[

If people don't like YYG, I am deadset against them joining it… because all they'll do is cause trouble and whinge about it.

If it is going to be similar to the GreatGamesExperiment, I'm looking forward to it, I love that site.

Yawn…YoYo Games still hasn't launched yet.
