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.

    Thank you for responding, but no, I’m not going to xitter.

      IMO, not even visiting is very weird. Just use a blocker and steal their revenue.

      As an uninformed, I also wonder why you think IGN would make up stuff.

        They (including Musk) make money off of how ubiquitous it is, even if you’re not viewing ads. They leverage that daily view count.

        No judgement, but if you’re visiting X/Twitter, you’re supporting them. As for IGN, there’s the “too much water” controversy, but basically, they’re just way too corporate for me…

          It’s like insisting on always paying with cash imo. Does some ethics but quite a bit of an inconvenience if you’re in a queue.

            Ok yeah, you can be annoyed, but your cash example is ALSO perfectly fine if a person decides digital money isnt for them

        You can’t say things like that here! We are a bunch of nerds who cling so tightly to online privacy and morals it is practically our personality!

        Nah it is weird, in the sense that most people really won’t put in that much energy to avoid a site even if it was to gather information. It’s atypical.
