how far will this go? Businesses could keep making deals with the game creators to put pokemon inside their locations to increase sales.
-A concert tour gets unique pokemon inside the concert for each of their stops, forcing people to buy tickets inside
-Restaurants could get pokemon inside their location, getting people to hang around
-Terrorists could hack the game and plant bombs at the spots that shiny Charizards are supposed to appear, killing millions
I mean seriously, people are people led around on a virtual leash.
My partner was telling me that she read an article about businesses using pokemon go to drive business. Running a lure on your local Pokestop takes just about a buck an hour, apparently.
