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.
That’s fine, I wasn’t going to buy it anyway :) especially if the creator only did it for the money. I will stick to indie games creators make because they like games <3
Edit: hahaha apparently I hurt some people’s feelings by having an opinion. Too bad. Indie game isn’t worth $6, and it’s made by someone who doesn’t care about the game, but yeah, go off. I’m going to go play Stardew, something worth money by someone who cares about their game :)
I hope you do your job for free too cause you just like to work :) <3
Shut up. That indie dev has to eat as well. Indie devs also need to get paid to eat and pay rent. Just like a painter selling their art to make ends meet.
You’re the kind of person that want arts for free from artists because “it’s only 5$ bro”.
As the dev said, go pirate it or something.
Why else would you add a price to something?
The distinction is he agreed he was only doing it for the money. Idc if they charge for their hard work, they should. But if an indie game is only in it for the money, it’s no better than a gacha.
He never said he was making the game only for the money; he said that he set the price for the money. Things like a filter that turns everything into Markiplier and continued updates show that he also has passion.
He literally did, and you even put it in your post.
“to those who have said he’s “only doing this for the money”, Szymanski tweeted: “Yes, no fucking shit."
When people tell you who they are, listen.
“this” refers to bumping the price
I guess pronouns really are difficult for some people.
Welcome to the world.
We do shit for money.
Money helps us eat.
Oh yeah Eric Barone and Toby Fox gave their millions away right? Stfu.
Turns out, it’s not possible to fill your stomach and keep a roof over your head by having enough passion.
“haha, I hurt your feelings by having an opinion”. No, you’re setting unreasonable expectations in a society that requires money to cover the basics of living. If you’d like to start a revolution to jump directly into a moneyless anarchist collective society, then that’s different. Actually, no, it’s not, because that revolution isn’t happening anytime soon, may not actually work out that way in the end, and even if it does, people shouldn’t have to wait to solve the basics of living.
Lmao, no this does not have a larger meaning. An indie dev stated he only cared about the money and started charging $2 more. Shocker.
He did not. He said “I want to earn more money”. That does not preclude being passionate about something, just wanting to have a roof over his head.
“If you’re passionate about something, you should do it for free” is not a workable position in our society.
You can rewrite it as much as you want, but no, he did say that. It’s even in the post.
“to those who have said he’s “only doing this for the money”, Szymanski tweeted: “Yes, no fucking shit."
I have no idea why everyone is taking this so personally. I said it’s not the game for me, and you all melted LMAO
We’re taking it personally because a lot of us are in exactly the same position, or have someone close to us that is. Our passions have to feed us. You’re directly undermining that.
I literally am not, this is not the guys passion. He is in it for the money. He stated that directly.
Being there for money and passion is not mutually exclusive.
I know that, that’s why I didn’t support his comment on his game.
