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.
People will literally complain about everything, no sense in trying to appease everyone all the time.
No matter what it is you do or how well you do it, even if you do it for free, a specific subset of motherfuckers will still act like you owe them something.
Especially when you do it for free. I write a lot of open source and sometimes the comments are real “nice”.
Lmao…
AAA dogshit shovelware game increases price from $60 to $70 and some people are unhappy.
Small time indie dev bumps game price from $6 to $8 to keep up with inflation and people lose their shit to the point it goes on gaming msm
No wonder we’re the most abused market.
Well, one is a 17% and one a 33% price hike, so outrage is totally understandable! I’m not being serious, btw.
No mate, I’m doing you a favour playing your game. You should pay me. It would be great exposure. I’ve got literally some followers.
And yeah, I’ll bang on about minimum wage being too low and I’ll post about AAA Devs ripping off their workers, but a lone developer asking $10 for something that probably took them months, too much. Too much.
What a sell out.
(/S just in case)
Isn’t only like an hour and a half or something?
The price change was accompanied by an update that included
the addition of the Terminal, which, located in the back of the Iron Lung, opposite to the photograph display monitor, could be used to look up certain terms relevant to the game’s lore. Aside from the addition of the terminal, the update also included the addition of the SM-8[(a new location to explore)], Steam achievements, trading cards, and a point shop. The update also fixed collision issues with the Humming Monolith, as well as moved it to a different location.
That makes more sense thanks for informing me
I hope this is clever marketing from the developer because I had never heard of this game until now and also because I can’t for the life of me figure out why anyone would abuse an indie developer for $2.
I understand some people might do that, but they’d have to be a tiny percentage.
I once made an app for Samsung watches for disc golf scorekeeping. It could accept any number of players, apply a handicap throughout the game so you could know exactly how you were doing vs your opponent with different handicaps on every hole, and gave a nice scorecard at the end to view. It was $0.99
Someone complained that I made them “throw away their money down the drain” since it didn’t also have gps to tell them how far they were from the hole.
