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.

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

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

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.

They don't want their kid to quit the game.
It means they will always support you.
