GameMaker developer YoYo Games bought by online gambling firm

And for kind of cheap...

No one is quite sure what to make of this yet and there haven't been any official statements. A lot of people work with GameMaker and even a few well known indie devs work in it. Hotline Miami, the original Spelunky, Gunpoint (and the upcoming Heat Signature), everything from Vlambeer, etc.

Now maybe this will turn out well? I don't know. YoYo wasn't the original creator of GameMaker, they bought it a few years ago. As far as I know that didn't go too terribly. But when you think of this new company is about gambling games and stuff it feels kind of...iffy. But he who knows, maybe they'll be crazy and drop the price on all the export modules so you don't have to spend a fortune to release on more than Windows. That would be nice.
