Iron Lung, an indie horror game so popular it’s getting a movie adaptation starring Markiplier, has raised its pricing on Steam to $8 (£6.70), a price hike of two whole dollars. For some reason, this has upset people to the point where the game’s developer David Szymanski felt the need to respond.
In a thread on Twitter (thanks, IGN) Szymanski writes: « Iron Lung’s price went up because the game is worth $8 so I want to charge $8, because I want to earn more money, » adding that people who still had a problem with it could « go pirate it or something idc. »
As to whether he’s only doing this for the cash, he continues: « 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, » adding in a subsequent tweet: « That’s it.
