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.

    you think we talk earthlingspeak?

    Anyways I agree with howrar, and all the downvotes on your thread show how many people also do. Language isn’t something that College Board can really regulate. They can punish you for not following their rules, sure, but the thing about language is that it changes.

      It does change. But it doesn’t change when a subjective statement is a subjective statement. “This movie is 4 out of 5 stars” “this game isn’t worth $6 or $8” are never ever going to be objective statements regardless of if it’s 1150 or 2991

        I see that you have been inspired to downvote. Interesting.

        This is a pretty silly-cal conversation. “Facts and opinions are different things.” was only a minor facet in circuitfarmer’s reply anyways. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjectification_(linguistics) literally turned many sentences into opinions. If we’re really gonna look at these from a lingusitics standpoint, there’s nothing that indicates if it’s an opinion from just syntax analysis. It’s only because we often associate “5 stars” and “worth” with opinions that it looks like an opinion.

          Yes. And the original commenter was giving his opinion. This is really not a deep or complex conversation and it’s profound that so many nerds are intending on making it one, presumably just because they at their core disagree with the guys opinion.
