We have also seen incidences here in the US of players being attacked, injured and robbed by crooks lying in wait at secluded locations for players who are drawn there thru the game. This is a very real concern for local police.
I have nothing against time-wasting computer/phone games but feel pretty strongly that they should not be played in public. Don't involve the rest of the populace by wandering around virtually aimlessly and unaware of surroundings. There are already too many clueless and completely absorbed idiots out there, walking or driving, with their nose stuck in a phone. Those numbers seem to have gone up exponentially with each new phone game craze.
Bah! I guess I am turning into a crabby old fart. I may also have taken this thread off topic. Sorry.
