Horror-themed submarine video game, Iron Lung, saw sales spike amid Titan search, developer says
As interest about the missing Titan submersible grew this week, one horror-themed submarine videogame has seen an increase in sales, according to its developer. Iron Lung game developer, David Szymanski, tweeted a screenshot of a text file showing an increase in the amount of units sold between Monday and Tuesday, with an apparent sharp incline in sales Tuesday. The post was captioned with "This feels so wrong." The source of Szymanski's information was not immediately clear, nor was there any comparison to prior days. "I definitely see the dark humor in this whole Titanic sub thing, it's just... like, I made Iron Lung the most nightmarish thing I could think of, and knowing real people are in that situation right now is pretty horrific, even if it was their own bad decisions … Like all the jokes I've been seeing are hilarious but also good lord nobody should have to die like that,," he tweeted 25 minutes later.
