Can I sell my games?

Postby xenidius93 » Mon Jul 28, 2014 5:30 pm

Hello. Can I sell my exported via GameEditor games in the web? Or I need to buy a license, or what? Other programs like GameEditor have some licenses (like educational, or comercial), but GameEditor doesn't. What should I do to sell my games created in GE? Nobody can buy GE, because it's open source/free program. So, can I just sell my games?

I believe that licenses are no longer needed, so you are free to sell your games on the market. Correct me if I am wrong guys.

Yes. Games made with Game Editor are free to be distributed however you want.

Agreed. When GE was a retail purchase, it was said to have a watermark covering the game until you bought the full retail version of the development software. Once you bought GE, the watermark would disappear. Also: Now that GE is a program free to use under the GE license, it's free to distribute your games created with the software Game Editor without having to pay royalties. Royalty free.

Of course if your game did really well, I'm sure GE would appreciate any donations to continue development of the Editor.

For those who have sold your games on Apple's App Games, or elsewhere, how has it been getting exposure for your games with the massive competition out there? What price did you charge for your game also if you don't mind? Thanks!

Yeah, but I didn't buy GE, and there's no GE intro, so... It's all for free? Also I can't buy GE, because there's no place, where I can buy it. Now I don't know, what can I do with my games :/. Ow, and I've got 1.4.1

Currently you are free to use gE to sell games without royalties or licensing fees. Do note though that 1.4.1 isn't a full release of gE, so while it does not have the splash screen in the beginning other things may be broken.

It is legal. You don't need a license from gameEditor to sell your games made with gameEditor.

If you are asking if you need a business license to sell or make money from your games, it depends on the regulations where you live.
