Be careful when using AI tools with pay-per-use pricing. You’re not just paying for your prompt — you’re paying for every line of context, every code snippet, every asset description. One weekend of vibe coding can = $300 bill. gamemakerblog.com/2025/04/27/sto… #GameDev #vibecode #AI

What does Ryan Reynolds and Russell Kay have in common? They both decided to drop the prices on their products instead of raising them. Premium is back to a One-Time purchase, and Asset Bundles are free for all! See what Russell says here: gamemaker.io/en/blog/gamema… #gamemaker
