In the age of $70+ AAA games with additional costs, not everyone celebrated the consumer friendly price. Some independent game developers have expressed concern that their games may not sell as well compared to Silksong and cannot afford to charge less.
Maybe they would sell more copies if consumers didn’t feel like they are being overcharged. I understand it sucks to compete against a game like this, but it feels wrong to decide to up the price just to get more money out of the people who do want to support you.
Also getting upset at a company that doesn’t conform to the industry pricing also makes you look greedy.

Oh yes, the guy who responds to being called out for bad behaviour by stalking the person they’ve decided to pick a fight with and downvoting them in entirely unrelated threads
Wtf are you talking about? You have been imagining an argument with me this whole time… You know karma doesn’t exist on lemmy.
Go argue with some who actually want to argue with you, im moving on now.
- Comment on ‘A fundamental part of growing up’: Why Aussie kids can’t swim any more 2 months ago:
You came into this conversation with an argumentative tone, don’t put that on me.
What are you talking about lol? I was giving the article shit… Did you take that personally, I mean have you been imagining an argument between us this whole time…?
Also how do I come into a conversation with an argumentive tone when I started this comment chain (there wasn’t even a conversation yet) I just gave my opinion on this article and you are already triggered. If anything you came in with an argumentive tone when you replied to me.
The article presents data and shares anecdotes that do a good job of personalising that data. Why are you accusing it of inventing problems when its data pretty solidly supports that.
The headline is that kids can’t swim anymore, that alone is a sensationalist title used to garter clicks, and the use of one women’s experience to justify this title is poor journalism imo.
If you wanted to criticise the source of the data or the methodology by which the conclusions were drawn from the data, that would be one thing (and we could evaluate the merits of that kind of reasoning in context), but you didn’t…you just claimed they were presenting anecdotes that create fear unsupported by data, despite the fact that that couldn’t be further from the truth.
I agreed with the data several times, what I disagreed with was the presentation of the data by this article. The RLSS has done good research, and then the Herald took some anecdotal takes and extrapolated it out to “kids cannot swim anymore”. This in my opinion skews the facts as most people don’t read past headlines these days and will take shit at face value.
You really need to take this down a notch, I am happy to continue this conversation and discuss our opinions, but if you just reply with more accusations I’ll just move on. Please chill.

- Comment on ‘A fundamental part of growing up’: Why Aussie kids can’t swim any more 2 months ago:
Connecting people with data is fine, but using it to draw conclusions the data doesn’t support - like saying aussie kids cannot swim anymore - is just overselling the issue to get more clicks.
Stick to the facts, give case examples of this happening and don’t use sensationalism.
- Comment on ‘A fundamental part of growing up’: Why Aussie kids can’t swim any more 2 months ago:
They’re taking anecdotal claims and using them to personalise actual statistics.
Which is my problem with them, they have actual research and they use a stay at home mums personal experience to try make the situation sound worse than it is.
It’s cheap journalism.
Just present the facts and research and stop reaching for ridiculous headlines designed to draw clicks. Kids can still swim, its less than before but we dont have an entire generation that are incapable of doing so.

Love when people make anecdotal claims and extrapolate them to a nation wide crisis. The Herald is such a fear monger.

Watching Americans try it by shoving a spoonful in their mouth and judging it on that is funny imo. It would be like chugging a shot of dark soy sauce and complaining you hate the taste.
