>>6865434Pokemon GO died out so fucking quickly because, not only was it a fad, but with every update they punished more and more players for several reasons. Spooffags also contributed to the decline.
First people living in suburbs, countrysides, or just flat out places Niantic didn't think were interesting (read: many countries that weren't the US, UK or Japan) got fucked due to lack of Pokestops and Gyms in their close vicinity.
Then was the eternal wait for Gen 2 mons and the disastrous events surrounding them.
Then the final nail in the coffin: Flat out disabling Pokestops if you were going over 5 miles an hour. Car, bus, train, and even fucking bike users be damned.
I know it's not technically /toy/, but I saw it mentioned and had to talk about it.
