Tangentially related, I also miss walking and playing Pokemon go with friends. Once in a while I can convince my partners to play with me, but basically none of my other friends play anymore. :blobfoxcry2: #PokemonGo

Ha! It's taken me long enough to figure it out! Every day, my husband takes the dogs for a walk. I just gave him my phone with Pokemon Go up and running, and my daily incense turned on. He's walking for me, and he's carrying my auto-catcher! My mobility issues are frustrating as hell. Maybe he'll catch a couple of rare pokemon for me. #PokemonGo

R.I.P. PokémonGo.
Habe mein Konto nach knapp neun Jahren (fast) täglichem Spielen gelöscht, weil Betreiber Niantic diese Sparte an ein Unternehmen aus einem Land mit mangelnden Menschenrechten verkauft hat.
Ich bin sehr, sehr traurig 😢

#SaudiArabia Buys #PokémonGo, and Probably All of Your #Location Data
Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund bought most popular #AR #videogame of all time, with collective worldwide player base of over 100 million people.

#SaudiArabia Buys #PokémonGo , and Probably All of Your Location Data

The companies’ collective blogs make it seem like #NianticSpatial —a data business—is going to become a totally separate entity, but Scopely’s direct, $50 million investment in it suggests that monetizing #Pokémon Go players’ location data and #AR camera scanning data is very much still part of the plan.
