summary:
The article discusses game developer David Szymanski’s decision to raise the price of his game “Iron Lung” from $6 to $8. Szymanski explained that he raised the price to make more money and believes the game is worth the higher price due to added value/content. He openly stated that he makes games to earn money and that if people don’t think his games are worth the price, they are free to not buy them, wait for a sale, or even pirate them. Szymanski acknowledged that the price increase was a gamble and that the game’s sales volume decreased as a result. He expressed hope that the upcoming film associated with the game would help make up for the lower sales. Szymanski also mentioned that he is open to adjusting prices based on feedback for future releases.
I see no problem either. I want more money is a very refreshing reason.
But yes I have actually waited years waiting for a game to go from $12 to $10 haha. Partly due to having huge back logs of gameds in my library and a long wishlist, so I got to keep buying in check some how. Otherwise my back log of unplayed games would get out of control even more.
