pokestopHappy Friday, trainers!
It's been a slow week in PokeGo news but here are a couple items of note:
• PokeGo has launched in 5 new territories: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macau, Macedonia, and Serbia. Welcome!
• The Go Plus is back in stock. (US only) Get them while you still can! The resellers have been brutal.
• The Dutch government is taking Niantic to court because they feel that the game is endangering its protected beaches. (source) However, some digging into the situation has revealed some similarities to incidents here in the U.S. That is to say: the relevant authorities enjoyed the increased foot traffic brought on by the game (and the money those players happily pumped into the local restaurants & shops) but increased foot traffic means increased trash and the like. Suddenly, the game becomes an issue. We'll see what happens!
What's been going on in your neck of the woods?
