Still Supported on Steam?

Going through my software, trying to find the right app to try, Gamemaker Studio has no store page now. Is Gamemaker still supported on steam? Please let me know, Im trying to find the right program to use and GM Studio has one of the highest ratings for accessibility.

That said, GameMaker: Studio 1 still works just fine if you already own it, you can just no longer buy it or any of its "extra export options" add-ons that you don't already own (at least not on Steam?).

In my opinion, GameMaker: Studio 1's interface/GUI is also easier/more intuitive to wrap your head around for newcomers, but I must admit that GameMaker Studio 2 is probably better or more streamlined once you're used to it.
Though it won't hurt to try GameMaker: Studio 1 first if you already own it. Most of the experience that you get with scripting and such will carry over if you decide to buy GameMaker Studio 2 later, and alternatively, if you end up not liking GameMaker: Studio 1's scripting, you can save the money that you would have spent on GameMaker Studio 2.

TL;DR: GameMaker: Studio has been replaced by GameMaker Studio 2, but you can still use the former if you already own it.

No. Buying GameMaker Studio 2 won't get you GameMaker: Studio 1. (If you already own the latter, you can still use it, but you can't buy it through Steam or YoYo Games any more.)

I don't think it was ever supported on Steam so much as available on Steam.
