> I ended up being more interested in the programming than the game I’ve been a swe for years, but this is how I felt about Pokémon go before they started blocking the apis people had developed. My only goal was to catch all 151 Pokémon. Because of where I live, I had a very hard time finding pokestops so I looked into and found the apis. I was able to grind out lvls and catch Pokémon, spin stops, etc. I won’t go into all the things I did, but it sure was fun. I suppose I was harming the game because I wasn’t spending real money on in-game items, but besides that I don’t think I was harming any of the other players. APIs got shut down, haven’t touched it since.
