Some guy complained this fishing game only caters to queer players, so the dev added a "straight" title - it costs $9999 (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

That's in-game money, of course, earned by selling your catch. Not actual human dollars. But it's still a comically large price tag when compared to the other titles in the game, which generally cost $75.

Should've been real money

Seriously. Reminds me of those "I'm Rich" apps which just displays that text, and actual idiots wanted to flex so they bought them.

No, fuck that business model.

You guys really can't stand jokes

What's funnier is that the title comes in quotemarks. So you're not straight, you're "straight".

lmao

I love this game. Also the title does indeed have the doublequotes around it, which no other title does. Last update fixed a lot of things and generally made the game nicer to play.

That's pretty funny. Maybe I'll check this game out.

I've heard some queer friends talking about this game and I had no idea what it was. Now I know, and not only is this hilarious now I want to give it a try. It looks pretty cute.

It’s like the devs said “what if we took one specific type of animal crossing player and made a game for them”

I look forward to webwatering and webbugcatching (where you play as a frog)
