YoYo Games, creator of the popular GameMaker engine, has switched up its pricing model and appears to be much more accessible as a result.
An official blog post written by GameMaker head Russell Kay writes that the engine "will be free for non-commercial purposes on all non-console platforms." The post also confirms that in place of its old subscription model, a new one-time fee will be introduced, acting as a commercial license "to meet the needs of hobbyist and indie developers."
