Hey Size43, I have an Idea :D, If pixels of site can be used to buy special things in game?
I will make a pixel shop, it will take players to your donate page. :)
Like if someone have 100 pixels and special item to buy has price of 500 pixels then they might want to donate you and they will get pixels.
You will get what you want and sever will be up for long time as well. :)
Just make pixels in extension so we can use them in games. :D
Thanks! and Sorry if my idea is worst!

Developers can't control pixels, Only make them to be able to use in game.

Don't worry, it's a great idea! I've got it on my todo list, but unfortunately I won't be able to add it to GameMaker Server any time soon because I don't really have the time to work on it :(

that does sound really cool, you should add it at some point! :)

Why don't you add this feature in new version of the Extension? :)

Because, right now, I don't have the time or resources to do it. Besides the fact that it's a lot of work, adding an economy will open me up to a massive amount of legal issues and constructions I need to be aware of before I can do it. So I'd need a lawyer to figure that out for me. What happens when a dev shuts down a game a user just spent $50 on? Am I responsible? Will I have to give the $50 back to that player? Can they sue me if I don't? What if a dev doesn't deliver the item a player has bought? Should I be a mediator and try to resolve the problem? Should I allow pixels to be coverted back into real money? Do devs need to sign a contract to use this service? Should I turn GameMaker Server into a business before doing this? How will that affect my taxes?

This feature needs a lot more than just some code. That's why it's not implemented already.

Woah! I didn't thought that, don't add this feature, It is very risky.
I will add button to donate server hoster to keep game up instead.
But still, you can find solution to it and can add this feature. (Something that would not make those things happen.) :)

I an glad that you like this idea. :)
I know and it will be hard.
Take as much time as you want even you can take years. lol
Good Luck! :)
