Joe Danger, a mobile game almost forgotten by all, was soon to disappear, but the testimony of a father on the passion that his son, suffering from autism, has for the game has revived the machine!
Nothing suggested that Hello Games, video game studio, was going to revive from its ashes a game that is more than 10 years old. Yet that is exactly what happened! Indeed, before making a name for itself with the game No Man’s Sky, the studio was in charge of Joe Danger, a mobile game released in 2010 and practically no longer updated since.
Recently, moreover, the last update of iOS had made the game unplayable and it seemed that Joe Danger was doomed to disappear. But thanks to Jack, it’s back in the App Store! A comeback precipitated by the testimony that Jack’s father sent by letter to Sean Murray, the leader of Hello Games.
A shared love of video games
“As you probably know, children with autism face a lot of challenges, the first of which is social interaction. However, one of the things that has allowed Jack and I to bond is our shared love of video games. , especially of Joe Danger. He loves Joe. He loves everything about him. He has a collection of toy motorcycles which are his “Joe Dangers”. Every motorcycle we see on the street is a ‘Joe Danger'” One one of the first things I hear when I walk through the door after a long day at work is, ‘Come on daddy, let’s play Joe Danger’.”
Jack’s father states that Joe Danger pushes his child to have fun with his friends and family. The motorcycle stuntman also helps the young boy cope with difficult situations and keep his spirits up. We therefore understand the sadness of Jack and his dad when, as explained above, the iOS updates had made Joe Danger unplayable.
The nice gesture of Hello Games
But Hello Games did not hesitate to release a new version for iOS 15. The game is now offered at a low price and owners of older versions even received a free copy! A great victory for Jack and his father who will be able to continue to bond by playing video games.
