Why isn't making an exe of your game not a standard feature? Just seems like requiring the byond pager, and requiring a byond account, etc, is really a hinderance to you and the devs.
Just wondering what the reasoning is when BYOND.com barely gets any traffic so it is very hard to get any players to your game if you are tied down to it. Can't you just charge a 500$ fee for games that want to go their own way or do royalties?
For some added information, the reason that BYONDexe requires a key is to enforce licensing agreements. The program itself does not have any form of monetization, so there needs to be a certain level of trust between you and the BYOND engine developer (LummoxJR) when it comes to revenue share to make up for the lack of ads with the exe games.
