Soooooo... Anywhere in there does it say it was the game rather than human error? Let's not blame games for human stupidity. " The two friends reportedly left the house without notifying responsible adults, " Not the games fault. As for the second link, that's just a "what if" click bait. There were a couple people who were robbed because someone did do just as the second article said, but the people were kind of dumb going to a kind of secluded place in the middle of the night. Again, not the game's fault. I remember when pokemon first came out and how "dangerous" it was because some stupid kids played long enough to hurt their necks while inattentive adults didn't stop them. Again, not the game's fault.People are just stupid, no matter the activity. Besides, these stories make for higher traffic to sites that don't really care about the real issues.

Theres been reports of people getting robbed via pokelures cuz crimminals lured them into shadey places though that might be bogus. either way use your head people dont go stupid places its just a game--- ALSO DONT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD (i've seen too many people do that outside my apartment aaaaahg)

"Why did you go into the women's bath?" "That Mr. Mime was giving me the eye and I just wasn't having that."

That's not Pokémon or Niantic's fault. I'd say that's the fault of the boy for not having common sense and for not reading the ToS. Might get bashed for this from gun lovers but the situation could of been dealt with peacefully and would of resulted in one less loss of life if civilians weren't allowed guns.

Please don't turn this thread into a gun control debate

Cant see them getting lawsuits for peoples dumb behavoir. Mostly just people distracted and not able to focus on more then one thing. Thats like walking with your headphones all the way up and getting hit by a train. Here were having a lot of tresspassing issues but no deaths so far. As for that other one involving the gun you know better than to break into someones house, just saying. This was on the news about an hour ago. XD at least he wasnt hurt. https://www.google.com/amp/www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/gotta-soak-em-all-pokemon-go-hunter-falls-in-pond-while-playing/?client=ms-android-virgin-us#
