If you want to make something usable, you'll have to use GML, and that is quite restricted in the free version, so why bother? Try something like Phaser or Turbulenz, they are free, open source, and a lot more flexible and powerful. You can easily combine other libraries or tools and extend these however you like. I don't see any advantage in wasting 6$ when you can get better stuff for free.
And besides, GameMaker has a free version now as well. You'll find most decent "free" 2D engines have paid versions also.
Well for USD 6 it doesn't hurt to have GM up my sleeve. I agree 100% with you about different platforms, and Ron has made his own for Thimbleweed Park which may or may not become open-source, just as many developers do and write their own.
By the way, the USD 12 includes 12 full games with source code - that's well worth the price.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
