>>9686596These are really cool ideas and I like where you're going with them, but you have to think long-term as well. If it's tied to an app, what happens when Bandai discontinues the app and it's no longer available for download? If the Tamagotchi uses data from the app to influence characters and items, how will it function if there's no app available?
We're witnessing this exact situation play out right now with the On/Meets app being discontinued, and currently while there's no 1:1 replacement for the app, fans have developed a computer application with Bluetooth functionality to send items, money, and marriage partners. Will fans have to pick up the slack for this theoretical Tamagotchi's app, or will there be a contingency?
