Pokémon Go makers get sued for trespassing

Pokémon Go around the globe, or at least where it is available, have been driving trainers crazy in pursuit of catching their desired Pokémons. While the game is generally made for entertainment, a man from New Jersey, USA is not happy about it.

The companies behind the game — Nintendo, Pokemon Company, and Niantic — are being sued for trespassing because they’re placing Pokéstops and Pokémon gym on private property with the owner’s consent. The plaintiff just realized this when strangers began to flock outside his home with their phones.

Not only that, the plaintiff stated that at least five individuals knocked on his door and asked to get into his backyard so that they can catch a Pokémon that’s by standing on his property. He also said that the companies are profiting off a game that uses players to trespass on private property.

The three companies have been given 21 days to act which was filed last July 29th. They are required to answered two general questions about the game: (1) Is the game enticing people to trespass on private property? (2) Are the defendants profiting from that?

But the question remains, when is the official Philippine availability?

Pokemon Go international rollout paused due to server issues

People all over the world have been itching to try out Pokemon Go which, so far, has only officially rolled out to select countries. It’s set to be available in more countries soon but might have to wait a bit longer as Niantic is pausing the rollout due to server problems.

Niantic Inc. CEO, John Hanke, told Business Insider that the company is aware of the server problems that crashes the game and is already fixing it. And while it happens, international rollout is “paused until we’re comfortable.”

As of the moment, Pokemon Go is officially available in the US, Australia, and New Zealand, but it’s good to know that Niantic is working hard to fix issues and bring the game to more countries soon.
