Fan Mail: "My Child Has Nightmares Because Of Your Game!!"
Every now and then my game development partner and I get emails from customers.
Usually it's fan stuff -- "I love your game!" and whatnot. Sometimes it's bugs and troubleshooting stuff, which is helpful.
... and sometimes it's stuff like this:
Now, I'm not familiar with French, so I don't know exactly how to translate the language barrier here.
But this email is hilarious!
If you're not familiar with my game, Blobfish Evolution, check out our trailer and the game itself -- it's free, so you're not going to lose anything:
I find the email hilarious!
They basically want me to change my game because their kid had nightmares about it.
LOL!!!
What do you think?
I love getting stuff like this.
Any kind of input from players -- good, bad, or ugly -- is GREAT!!
The translation is horrible! You should post the original french email, I am sure there are people on Steemit that can do a better translation.
I do agree about parents that should monitor their children's media consumption, especially to know what might scare them.
Here is the original :
Alors vous! Vous allez loin ! Très loin ! Nous les blobfishs on veux la paiiw pas le cannibalisme alors changez le jeu parce que c'est trop violent ! Ma fille de 9 ans a vu ce jeu et depuis, elle a des cauchemars touts les jours ! Son animal préferé lui tourne le dos a cause de vous ! Nous allons vous exterminer nous les blobfishs ! On extermine touts les dieses qui nous foutent le blobshit !!! FAITES QUELQUE CHOSE D;
I see that you upvoted this comment @nenad-ristic
Do you have any thoughts on the translation?
I might have to ask my partner for the original for just this reason. I know there's something weird about it!
Please do... I have studied French at High School, and I think even I can do better than that...
Of course, it is also possible that the original post was incoherent.
Lol, hilarious.
I concur with @mk40 - the parent is responsible for what their child plays, even if the game is rated E. Before emailing you they should have taken a good hard look at their parenting skills, surely they know what their child is scared of
Well obviously, but it's so much easier to just blame a game developer, right? lol
XD
Well you ARE responsible for violence in our youth today 😏
No changing! Lol, but in all seriousness, it sounds like he or she needs to monitor what their kid is playing better if they are having nightmares.
Well, if their kids are so traumatized by a mobile game with an E rating, they probably just need a reality check. My son has been playing my game since he was 3 and he loves it! lol
Yeah, that too lol...maybe they are shut ins and their child just happened upon the game...god help them when they see the real world lol
I am not sure what they meant. All i get from that is Nightmares and they are calling you a Blobfish.
P.S. that sound at the end of the video is tight.
"That sounds"???
The blog sound i guess? I had left the window and i guess the video wasnt over and it made a really crazy sound at the end. I had my speakers up kind of loud. haha
Oh! Yeah, that's PewDiePie burping lol!
ohh and that game is really interesting looking. Wish i had known you created it earlier. I am going to check it out.
Blobfish is really somethin else lol Im following youuu!
Thanks! Blobfish are amazing creatures! I went to the aquarium today and was secretly hoping to see one... but alas...
Lmao!!!!!, that thing is freaking cripie 😱, I can see why the poor kid is having nightmares ... 😂
lol!!!
rofl.
lol! BLOBSHIT!!
XD
hahahaha
They don't want their kid to quit the game.
It means they will always support you.
BTW...
I'm sorry. It's a bit ugly...
I am corrupting the youth!
