2nd Post. Just going to copy, paste steal from Arch4engel.

Between Pro and Standard, there seem to be 3 really important differences:
-Texture Editing
-Team Development Tools
-Modularity (the option to add web/mobile exports later)

I've only just started using it, since the flash sale was what justified the purchase to me, but these are wholly dependent on what you expect to do. Do you think you might develop iPhone games somewhere down the line? Do you already have other solutions for texture editing and version control? Personally, a buddy has gotten me hooked on Mercurial over Subversion, so the team stuff doesn't excite me, but the other 2 points justified the extra $17.

Thanks mate, that was good enough information for me. I think standard would suit me best but its good to know the rest for the future

Standard (with a watermark which would make it nearly impossible to publish games) is free on the yoyo games website but not here for some reason.

It still has the watermark? Also why are they selling Studio Standard for $30 here?

The standard version here has no watermark, while the standard version on yoyogames website is free but it has a watermark. Yoyo hasnt seemed to show much priority in keeping the steam version up to date with the version on their website. Which is extreemly anoying, but I'm not paying for everything a 2nd time.

Right thanks, it seems like the pro version there is like the standard version here but you can port to other devices right. Anyway, I got the littel differences found, so I'll look at their website for more info, thanks m8
