And Now Everyone Who Knows I Do Gamedev (Who's Not In Gamedev) Asks Me What I Think Of Pokemon Go....

So this seems to be happening to me a lot. Not sure if anyone else has had this happen, or happen a lot. They go, "Oh you do game development right? What do you think of the game?" I tell them, But I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, now I got a conversation starter, with people who normally don't know anything about games, willing to ask you for your advice or opinion. And on the other hand, It's a bit annoying, since they have no idea what I do, and they make an assumption, based purely on a small bit of information and popular culture. It's like asking a random composer or musician person you know as to what they think about the latest pop song that is sweeping the nation. IDK, This topic is NOT to discuss what you think of the game itself, but the habit people have now asking people in gamedev for their opinion, which in the past they would have never done so.

Ya Game shakers, that's it.

It's just so terrible....

And once again, child cartoons attribute what the real world id like, and perpetuate dangerous stereotypes...

I'm really concerned for Gen Z....

It's a good thing, although I prefer my consoles and PC. It's just another mobile game and like all mobile games its appeal is to a broader audience. It's expanding into augmented reality and making augmented reality more mainstream, which is why I think it's a good thing.
