it's all over the news. they are walking out in front of Cars & getting hit, Even Driving & Playing. Trespassing ? do that in the wrong yard
This is the first time I am for Banning something.
I think the ability to play games while Walking should be banned at the Production Level, Or
Lawsuits should start , make it financially unsound to create them.
and drive them to voluntarily end it . they won't end it to save lives,
they don't care if yo get arrested or shot. it's all about the $$$$
on the subject of Kids at parks while detecting, I will never forget the last time My nephew & I were at a park filled with kids. The local school was on strike & the kids had off.
Most were back in the corner of the park at tables having something.
But there were 5 or so hanging out near us, B.s.ing circa 16 year olds
They saw we were excited about a certain find and walked over & asked what we were finding.
My nephew found a Token & showed it to them. They then went over to a Basketball Court.
& all of a sudden the one Girl said something to me from the court. I couldn't hear her over my Headphones but gave her a Smile & shrug pulled off my one headphone ear piece , they just stared, & went back to hunting.
after a few more minutes they came over and asked me if I cash my Finds in, I said no I keep them.
She asked if we were together, I said yea that's my Nephew.
They walked over to him.
Later I found out they Researched his Token online & went over to give him the Info
some Kids just deserve respect
What I can't understand is how people can't play this game more safely. I tried out the game and I mean it's alright in terms of the virtual aspect is a different game mechanic. However, I still prefer the old versions. I know, I'm a nerd, but then again I real life treasure hunt. And however much you argue it's cooler, the hobby is still a bit nerdy ex. Coin collecting. But the point being is I don't understand how people think they can trespass or allow themselves to get hurt. The game opens with "beware of your surroundings". It also has a feature where you put it in your pocket and it will beep at you when you need to play. It gives plenty of time to pull over, stop walking, and get the item AND you don't even have to be close so why trespass? Sorry just my thoughts in the form of a rant. I mean I see the purpose of the game and to get the 2/3 of the population who otherwise would be sitting inside but why do it harmfully? I guess as with everything we need common sense and unfortunately a video game might get people outside but it sure cannot fix commonsense
Nerdy or otherwise, we actually have tangible items, many holding real value, for our game. Furthermore, we can contribute to our own, and the worlds actual knowledge base. There is more than just entertainment value produced with our wasted time, which can't be said of Pokemon goofs, now can it?
Absolutely, have you seen the stock price of Nintendo? It shot up 70% in 30 days! NTDOY : Summary for NINTENDO CO LTD ADR - Yahoo Finance Evidently this is the most successful mobile game app ever....I heard something like the revenue is 2 million A DAY coming in.
