Gamemaker 8.1 for Windows, gone?

It doesn't seem to be up for purchase and from what I've googled it seemed to have been removed around the 12th.

It seems GM 8.1 is gone, based on what I read on their home page

This makes me wonder if the license isn't required anymore since you can't purchase it.

I think it's officially abandonware. So if you want to pirate it I think at this point it's fair game. Alternatively me and klazen are close to releasing a IWBTG studio engine.

There's been a weird bug happening when you open gamemaker where it opens multiple processes until it starts. It's definitely a good idea to switch to studio as soon as possible.

I've been having that bug as well. I guess studio is finally going to be the new standard for people who don't have 8.1 and don't want to pirate it.

I think if you have the link the installer zip is still in the site's files and also I have a license key if anyone wants... found it on a youtube video.
EDIT: It's actually now completely gone. But if anyone needs that license key I still have it.
