Indie Game Developer Challenges Critics to Pirate His Highly Regarded PC Game

David Szymanski, the developer behind PC games Dusk and Iron Lung, has raised the price of Iron Lung from $6 to $8, stating that he wants to make more money. He responded to criticism by suggesting people pirate the game if they disagree with the price. Szymanski believes that if his games are not worth the price, people should not buy them and hopes to adjust prices for future releases based on feedback. Iron Lung's sales volume has decreased since the price change, but Szymanski hopes the upcoming Iron Lung movie, directed by Markiplier, will compensate for the negative sales trend.
