Pokemon Go

Non Sequitur

So people spend real money to get a mostly completed game?

that's no different than autocad or revit.  it's called 'software as a service" or SaaS since we like acronyms.  you niether buy, nor own, the software you're paying for.  as part of that, you don't get a finished product, you get an evolving product.

Curt, looks like the post I replied to got deleted. It was someone selling pre-played pokemon go accounts so you could... I don't know, brag to your friends about your fake phone app accomplishements?

Perhaps I should buy a pre-checked in Untapd account and boast my beer experiences to all you peasants?

... or sell your untapped profile, so you can make piles of money and someone else can get bragging rights?
 

i misunderstood your post then.  that would be called 'pay to win' (or p2w since we like acronyms).  it actually makes the game more true-to-life.

true-to-life is weird.

I'd rather drink my way to success rather than cheat. It's tastier and more fun.

Tryed it once, got annoyed immediately, got rid of it. Didn't stop people thinking I was playing it while checking Google Maps

If nothing else it was an interesting experiment of augumented reality on a global scale and of what madnessn could ensued by it, but maybe not too much ot of the ordinary when a new fad goes viral. Not sure what was more fascinating, that it was inherently satanic or inherently racist (http://www.smobserved.com/story/2016/07/23/news/black-lives-matter-accuse-pokemon-go-of-inherent-racism-no-seriously/1596.html)
