I don't understand why you'd ask that.

It's not that far-fetched, to me. $10 is a pretty weird price for a game, especially these days. Many games that launch at such a low price point tend to only keep that pricing temporarily; either as an early-access discount before the price goes up for the "final" build of the game, or it'll go the other way and go free-to-play as the devs put the game on life support. It also seems like an especially unusual one-time price for a game that still seems to be actively worked on. It's a very curious price.

It is only a curious price because most developers would choose a freemium model for a $10 game.

More probably that person just fell for the gaslighting over the price of games.
