Iron Lung Developer's Controversial Response to Price Hike: "Go Pirate It or Something"

The developer of indie horror game Iron Lung, which is being turned into a film by YouTuber Markiplier, responded to backlash over a recent $2 price increase by telling critics to "go pirate it or something." David Szymanski defended the price hike, stating that the game is worth $8 and he wants to earn more money. He emphasized that if people don't agree with the price, he doesn't want their money. Sales of Iron Lung have dropped since the increase, but Szymanski said he knowingly took the gamble and hopes it will be the right decision in the long term.
