Honestly, I don’t really see the point. The watermark is not a bad thing as it is not interfering with the game and nor is it even very visible; the price increase is not a bad thing as it could easily be sold for 250-300$; the game is still your own creation. YoYoGames provides an important resource to many: They provide web hosting for literally hundreds of thousands of games. You have to remember Sturgeon’s Law here. The games are ugly because the developers suck. Only about 1% of the stuff created and posted is actually a diamond in the rough; the rest of the stuff is crap (Yes, this applies to my own games *laughs*) Genuinely good games can be created with Game Maker, and, if you are able to create an extraordinary game with GM8.1 Lite, consider that watermark as a trophy, one that proudly says that Game Maker is an excellent tool, and that you are an excellent programmer for breaking the limitations that the watermark mentally places on you. There are actually very few limits that cannot be broken in GM Lite, namely Internet access, textured 3D (untextured 3D is possible with some maths knowledge), external resources, and extensions.
