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.) :)
