  It’s weird that everyone is dogpiling on Pokemon Go now. Its no longer owned or managed by Niantic & has had AR scanning completely removed

    Yup!

    Back then we knew it tracked stuff but didn’t think it would aid in drones or Covid.

    Pokemon Go was pretty dead in the US before Covid, which got some players back for a short bit. Now I think I might know 1 person that still plays, maybe.

    Pokemon Go is long dead so I don’t know why these journalists keep lecturing us.

      Half a billion in revenue in 2025 doesn’t exactly spell dead for me.

      The player base certainly shrunk, but I’m still seeing multiple groups of about 40 people walking around in my mid sized German town during events.
