Since you asked, when you say “I’m sorry” in both of your comments that phrase comes off as being used as a buffer for wanting to say something condescending and passive aggressive. The tone in your comments still try to make them out to be as if they are in the wrong to be upset and an “apology” doesn’t automatically debuff that.
So if you want to apologize with sentiments along “I’m sorry you feel that way,” don’t, because that is a non-apology. An apology comes from recognizing WHY someone is upset, acknowledging something upsetting did happen without putting the other person down, and not trying to come off as mean-spirited about it.
Even in your comment to me, there is still the tone of trying to absolve responsibility for the tone and words used because you “don’t know what it’s like” and claim ignorance. I suggest reading through the other reviews without any intention to criticize the words of dissatisfaction from others or defend the game and try to see it from their perspective and even replace those triggers with something else that upsets you to see if you can relate. If you want to still play the “I don’t get it” card, that’s something you need to work on yourself, not some random person on itch should be teaching you.
Thank you for trying to help me, and I'm sorry for seeming ignorant. Looking back on the conversation now after reading through your response has helped me see where I was in the wrong and what I could've said instead. I think a lot of the time I go into a situation while being very rude and inconsiderate, and I will try my best to keep an open mind in the future when it comes to other people's feelings. I shouldn't be expecting everyone to feel the same way I do about things and I especially shouldn't make an awful apology like that in response to someone having a different opinion/different triggers.
I will take your idea of "reading through the other reviews without any intention to criticize" and use it to learn more from this experience and keep it in mind for the future, as well as bettering myself as a person and avoid being so harsh towards people who are different from myself. Thank you again for being kind enough to help me learn from my mistakes, I genuinely appreciate it. :)
