Pokémon don’t Go

Last class we touched the Marketing Idea of Pokémon Go. We discussed how responsible it is or should it be. This game is very popular all over the world. All of us heard that there were several car accidents including mortal one. 

But I will tell you another story how Pokemon GO playing could influence your life.
September 3rd 2016 the District Court of Yekaterinburg arrested Ruslan Sokolovsky, and put him to jail for two months. Ruslan is a 22-years old video-blogger who played Pokémon inside the church. Blogger accused of insulting the feelings of believers and inciting hatred. The grounds were published it on YouTube videos, one of which the young man was playing Pokemon Go in the famous the Temple-on-blood, while others critical of the Russian Orthodox Church. Here is the link for the news, It is in Russian but I already translated most part. http://www.bbc.com/russian/news-37265688

Of course we can discuss if the reaction is good enough, maybe it is too strict. But that is also the question to developers. Should be any restrictions for playing conditions and places to play.


Do the producers should concern about their customers more?
