Hi. I bought GameMaker Studio many years ago, I made some amateurish games and eventually I moved on. Now I am thinking to get back to it, but I wonder if GameMaker Studio is somehow outdated now that we have GameMaker Studio 2. Please keep in mind that I am not a programmer. I hate it when people say "learn Unity, it is better" or Java or C+ or something. I am not a programmer, I am a guy who make some graphics and sometimes I make them move using some "IF" lines.

I want to complete the achievements of it and experience some nostalgia with an old project I had. I have an old HumbleBundle key for GameMaker. However, on activation it once referred to the "GameMaker Studio: Professional" version and now it says it is invalid (likely, because it got used). There is no reference if the product is now...
