Shameless advertising but I'm doing it for charity today.
Some of you might know of this, some of you might not, but there is certain charity action that works with game developers. Today, there is a new weekend deal in there.

Basically, you pay what you want with the minimum being 1$ and it unlocks the games/programs on your steam account. So, what's so good about this weekend deal? Mainly RPG maker Vx Ace that is a tool for game developing. Normally, its price is 69.99$ which can be considered a lot since its a program.
What advantages are there to own such program? Owning original program equals purchasing its license to create games for commercial purposes, meaning you can legally create games on this engine and sell them to people for money. Some can say 'hey I can pirate it' but no, you can't actually pirate this utility. It is because in every game created, there is serial key attached, like a mark that tells the program developers if you created your game on legal or pirated copy so no, pirated version doesn't allow for you to legally create games to sell.
That said, who knows, maybe someone will get interested and will become a good indie game developer? I'm just posting it here to give people a chance. ^^

Anyway, the deal's nice, those bundles are the reason why I have over 200 games on steam
