Although I'm new to GameDev, I've been coding for few years in my company(POS software etc), when I trying stepping into games, the first few searches shows up Game Maker (Studio), after looking at the price, I think:
"That's crazy... $499 for Game Maker, it used to be $30 as I remember"
And after some searches, I found ENIGMA and found it can do even better than GM.
Well, that's not the only crazy thing, I used RealBasic as it's $99, but now.. the price has been rise to $800 in order to do the same thing. I change to PureBasic and PB don't require crazy upgrade/subscription fee till now.
How can those soft bloat the price insanely, especially when there're actually better alternatives? Some better alternatives are even free.
