"I did it to make more money."
I mean, this is kind of a scummy thing to say. Nobody really would have cared about an increase to $8 from $6 for the game, but a person with the attitude that this developer has by saying what they said will probably not be conducive to getting more sales. Should have just not said anything.
I rather like the honesty of it
People are so used to being lied to that they get angry when you tell them the truth instead, even though they already knew the truth.
I'm half joking, though. Part of what makes society work is all the things we do to put a nice facade on things that are ugly. If we all went around telling the hard truth all the time, everyone would be angry at everyone.
All that said... Basically saying "I underpriced the product of my hard work and I'm correcting that" shouldn't be that shocking. Especially when tempered with "Go pirate it if you want".
I get what youre saying but to me there is far too much sugarcoating today. I much prefer being a bit more honest. That doesnt mean be an asshole though.
