Dev of horror hit Iron Lung raises price from $6 to $8 because "I want to earn more money," and says if you don't like it, you can "go pirate it or something"

Iron Lung.

Submarine adventure Iron Lung was one of the scariest games of 2022, and an absolute steal at $6 on PC or Switch. As of this November, it now costs $8 on Steam (still $6 on Switch at the time of writing), which remains an absolute steal. The new price is the result of the simple fact that – and you might want to sit down for this one – creator David Szymanski wants to make more money. 

"Since people keep trying to gotcha me over this... once again, Iron Lung's price went up because the game is worth $8 so I want to charge $8, because I want to earn more money," Szymanski said in a recent Twitter thread which – and I've double-checked this – contains zero minced words. "If you don't agree with this price, I don't want your money. Go pirate it or something idc."
