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.

    “This is not an $8 game” means “I don’t think this game is worth $8”

    Does it?

    Why not just say the second one, then?

    You’re very good at english, so I wouldn’t mind a lesson from an experienced teacher.

      Because there are multiple ways to say a particular sentence and some people opt to not use the most passive voice possible when speaking (taking an active voice).

      Try it out sometime.

        “I don’t think” and “I wouldn’t” are not passive voice.

        So, by ‘passive’ you mean ‘weak’. Some people choose not to speak in a ‘weak’ way.

        I’m really learning a lot here.
