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.

    Seriously, what’s up with you people?

    This tends to mean you’ve misunderstood a basic social norm.

      Like interpreting obvious opinion statements as objective fact?

          Well, one, Jesus Christ, it’s not even my statement. Two, the guy saying “this game isn’t worth $8” is obviously a subjective statement because it literally cannot ever be an objective statement.

          Like. By definition.

          When you see a movie rating and someone rates it four out of five stars, you understand that’s not them declaring a universal constant, correct?

              You can just say you goofed up and said something silly lmao. It’s more embarrassing to suddenly go “uhm, actually…. Have you considered I suddenly don’t want to talk about this anymore?” When confronted with an error on your part.

                  Okay, no, that’s fine. You can double down and say that you firmly believe someone saying “I don’t think this video game is worth $8” is an objective statement. Not exactly the move I would make but yunno you’ve got an uhh… interesting noggin on ya (don’t get too mad, that’s a subjective statement).

                    Waiiit a minute…

                    🤔

                    Hold on a second…

                    Oh! I figured it out!

                    That guy never said this.
