Heyo!

Regarding the version being in the package name, I chose that because with LTS builds there's good reason to have multiple LTS versions installed at once. YoYo themselves has deliberately differentiated the directory names for this release channel from all the others including the 2022 LTS. 2026 is also the last LTS to support the current runtime before GMRT replaces it, as such I expect a sizable chunk of games to need this version for a long time coming, even after a 2028 (or whatever it may be - YoYo hasn't exactly been punctual with their intended release schedule) takes over so having both accessible simultaneously makes sense.

Regarding contributor details, I'm very sorry about that. I had a clone of your package from a while ago and assumed all that'd have changed was GM version. I'll sort that out within the next week (hopefully sooner than later), unfortunately I'm very inundated with work at the moment.

also u got my contributor details wrong, i think u used an outdated makepkg as a reference, would recommend updating them using the ones from here as a base https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=gamemaker-beta-bin&id=cce34547901f41014204202b23803263874c4beb

wouldnt it be better for this package to just be called "gamemaker-lts-bin"? or are we really gonna make a separate aur package should they update the year in the name every single year?
