Yes they literally did. “This is not an $8 game” means “I don’t think this game is worth $8” when talking about a game that is in the real world price at $8.

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

    “This is not an $8 game” means “I don’t think this game is worth $8”

    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.
