An unexpected price change
If you're a fan of the indie horror game "Iron Lung," you may have noticed that the game has become a bit more expensive on Steam. Developer David Szymanski has raised the price by $2. Why? Quite simply, he wants to make more money. And before you start complaining, he has a simple solution for you.
Szymanski's surprising response to criticism
In the face of skeptical players criticizing this decision, Szymanski remains calm and suggests: if you're not happy with the price, pirate the game. Yes, you heard that right! That's a rather unusual reaction from a developer to criticism of a price increase.
Clarification on His Decision
In his response to the criticism, Szymanski emphasizes that he makes games for a living and therefore wants to earn money. He even goes so far as to say that it's okay if players believe that "Iron Lung" is not worth the money right now. They can simply choose not to buy the game or wait for a sale. Quite unconventional, isn't it?
Is Iron Lung Worth the Increased Price?
Whether "Iron Lung" is worth the additional $2 is something you have to decide for yourself. The game offers a unique horror experience in a small submarine on an alien planet full of blood. Maybe that's exactly the adrenaline rush you're looking for? Take a look at our Iron Lung Key and form your own opinion.
Szymanski's Previous Successes
In addition to "Iron Lung," Szymanski has also developed the extremely popular retro shooter Dusk. Even five years after its release, Dusk received a free HD update on Steam. The proceeds from the sale of Dusk next month will go to the two main developers of the free HD update. So it seems that Szymanski definitely understands how to make money with games.
