Then, responding to those who have said he’s “only doing this for the money", Szymanski tweeted: “Yes, no fucking shit. I make games for a living. If I didn’t want to earn money from them I wouldn’t charge money for them.”
The game follows the premise of being trapped in an underwater submarine out of necessity to capture deep pictures.

No offense, but if English isn’t your second or third language or something you might genuinely have a reading/cognition problem. This is not like a strange use of language, this is just basic sentence structure that should be easily understood by middle school. It’s like the easiest question on the SAT
Does it?
Why not just say the second one, then?
You’re very good at english, so I wouldn’t mind a lesson from an experienced teacher.
Because there are multiple ways to say a particular sentence and some people opt to not use the most passive voice possible when speaking (taking an active voice).
Try it out sometime.
“I don’t think” and “I wouldn’t” are not passive voice.
So, by ‘passive’ you mean ‘weak’. Some people choose not to speak in a ‘weak’ way.
I’m really learning a lot here.
I mean yeah sure man if you want to make utilizing basic phrases and concepts into a “normal people vs pussies” type of dynamic where you are putting yourself in the latter camp sure dude, go ahead.
Whatever helps you
thing is, using a cognitive verb does not make the sentence in the passive voice
