Iron Lung Dev Says 'Go Pirate It or Something' in Response to Price Rise Backlash - IGN
www.ign.com
The developer of hit indie horror Iron Lung, which mega YouTuber Markiplier is turning into a film, has told those who don’t agree with the game’s recent $2 price rise to “go pirate it or something”.

Then, responding to those who have said he’s “only doing this for the money", Szymanski tweeted: “Yes, no fucking shit. I make games for a living. If I didn’t want to earn money from them I wouldn’t charge money for them.”

The game follows the premise of being trapped in an underwater submarine out of necessity to capture deep pictures.

    “This is not an $8 game” means “I don’t think this game is worth $8”

    Does it?

    Why not just say the second one, then?

    You’re very good at english, so I wouldn’t mind a lesson from an experienced teacher.

      Because there are multiple ways to say a particular sentence and some people opt to not use the most passive voice possible when speaking (taking an active voice).

      Try it out sometime.

        “I don’t think” and “I wouldn’t” are not passive voice.

        So, by ‘passive’ you mean ‘weak’. Some people choose not to speak in a ‘weak’ way.

        I’m really learning a lot here.
