    I’m sure the developer feels absolutely crushed by the increased sales.

    When I read the title of the post I thought the sales spike was because of the movie Markiplier was making and I was confused as to how that’d be a bad thing. Makes more sense after reading the article.

      This fiasco showed me just how much of my life I, evidently, spend under a rock. Had not heard a thing about this until after it was all said and done, when I walked in on a conversation everyone in my family was having about it. Even my nine-year-old. Lol

    At least David wasn’t using the tragedy to market the game himself, unlike Randy Pitfhford using BLM to get people to buy Duke Nukem games to “get back at pigs”

    It doesn’t cross my mind that I should play a submarine horror game or what not. How does the increased sales work?
