Here's what they should do... Make one game and let users choose their theme/skin. License different themes from companies (Harry Potter, Pokemon, etc). Then whatever mode a person is in when they buy stuff, that IP gets a cut.
And then: make that game fun.
- berbec 9y agoThat's what they seem to have done. As I remember, my wife's pokestops matched my ingress hubs 1:1. They made the backend on Ingress, and are licensing and skinning it now.
- kyle-rb 9y agoWell yeah, the landmark location data is sourced from Ingress, but to be fair a lot of that is originally from Google Maps, since Niantic started out of Google.
- berbec 9y agoRight, but only ingress landmarks are in pokemon go and I saw no pokemon go landmarks not in ingress. So i'ts not just picking gMaps, it's picking directly from Ingress.
