Reformatted

I kind of reformatted my computer. So, though I saved actual files, I don't have a registered copy of Game Maker anymore. Or anything else for that matter… Except maybe Plantlife, Tree Magik, etc. But those are on discs.

The thing is, I bought Game Maker before version 7 was out (like most of the active members here). And so I had to go to Yoyo Games and be like, here's the code, please generate me my 7. And then it was like, NO. (not NO but more like, this key isn't recognized, blablabla)

I tried my key from 5 and 6 and neither worked, so I just have to sit back and hope they get to my little ticket thing it made before it's too late. I was kind of planning on releasing two games like, in 20 days. And now it's been 2 weeks with no reply from YoYo Games.

*frustrated*

But other than that things are going good. The computer is epic fast again, schoolwork is going fairly smoothly, my best friend is on leave from military school, and I'll probably get districts in two events for swimming this coming up week. Oh yeah, and I got voted co-captain even though I'm a Junior :)

*less frustrated*

UPDATE:

Found it! lol.

*not frustrated*

Thanks for listening,

If you've already paid for it you might as well pirate it.

I heard it's hard to pirate version 7

lolololololololol.

Yeah, it's about as hard as pirating spore, and we know how that went.

Zac1790 15 years, 5 months ago

Oh yeah that stupid DRM system.

That is a case in which the game's good standing was entirely destroyed by anti-piracy.

No I mean spore is the most pirated game ever. gm7 is easy to pirate.

Zac1790 15 years, 5 months ago

Oh. Well if you say so. I mean I did just read an article that said YoYo Games took their time even when it came to removing a key generator hosted by themselves…

But it's just 20 dollars. I'm seriously considering buying it all over again. Just… I'd be even more pissed at YoYo Games.

Wow.

I'm happy again now :D

Lol.

I found the key in my email and since they just switched to softwrap it counted as my first registration XD woohoo

I saved my GM6 key because you can use it over and over again. So far I've had to register GM about 20 different times on a few different computers =D

Nice, I should be switching over to Enigma and C++ (w/Ogre 3D) next year. But for now I can feel safe in the security of Game Maker
