Thanks for posting this, Chris. I stumbled on this game, yesterday, but couldn't spare the coin to pick it up. It seemed really interesting, though. Your video sold me on it. Hoping I'll be able to grab it soon.

Essentially what you just said, is that ideas can in no way be questioned or criticized. Good idea!

Ahh, true, true. Think we did trip up on silly words.

Until my reply to your hostility, I have not been hostile about this subject at all. Additionally, I have not been "dumping a bucket of cold water" on anyone. Simply stating that I feel that this thing is a bit misleading, leaning on an emotional ploy, in an attempt to make it feel like it's better than it really is,…

Massive shifts don't happen, unless there's large disasters. Things like changing the edjumacation system take steps. Having a name like RR say 'we do not accept education as a place to profit', would be a great step for that.

I never once said that I was against them making money off of RR. That's great! There should be a consumer market for literacy! Education shouldn't be a business though.

Well didn't you get hostile nice and quickly. Good on ya. I'll let you stew in that, as I'm sure it makes your life extra pleasant.

Fuck New Kinja. >_<

I understand that, but as I've said multiple times in this thread, there seems to be better avenues they could take, while still providing it for free to schools.

Expecting them to do it out of the gate is not ridiculous at all. Financial transparency is a good thing. The only way it can hurt you is if you lie about it, or your financial breakdown clearly shows you don't know how to manage your budget properly.

That's on them, though. They could offer a transparent breakdown on where the money will be going, what their plan for sustainability is, etc. RR is owned by a For Profit company, now. That never seems to come out as a 'best for everyone' situation.

That's defiantly a possibility, though from everything I've seen and heard out of say, Nerdist, they wouldn't have that problem there.

I meant private consumers. Most schools struggle. More than 7,500 of them. It seems to me that there could be a much better way to sustain this, while providing this for free to schools.

I've since obtained it. This was a few years back, when it was harder to find. Thanks though. :P

I'm unaware of how their app works. I also agree that paying a few bucks for uninterrupted service is totally reasonable. But that should be on the consumer, not the schools, as they're already struggling horribly.

There's 98,817 public schools in the US. Most of them are struggling. 7,500 is nothing.

Yeeaaah... That's what I'm getting out of this, as well. It feels very off... I love that there will be more, but the way it's being done seems wrong.

Give me a full video link! I never claimed to see all of Nye. In fact, I tended to miss it, more often than not.
