I have heard cases of people (of all ages and genders) mindlessly following the instructions linked to these entirely ‘virtual’ games and getting into ‘real time’ trouble in the (existing) material world! This includes breaking into people’s homes, walking out into traffic or onto rail-tracks and ‘stepping-off’ bridges and other high platforms! This stupidity comes about as the instructions controlling these games stipulate that if the player follows the instruction in just the right way – then a ‘miraculous’ (computer generated) image will suddenly become visible on the digitalised screen! Players have been so absorbed in the game that when challenged by ‘real’ Police (often ‘armed’) – they carry-on playing – treating the Police as an unnecessary ‘interference’ in their quest to ‘catch them all’! Of course, I must avoid the allegation of being a ‘Luddite’ – but people should take better care of their Mental Health and strive to realise exactly what the Big Tech Companies are doing with your free-will! You are basically conforming to the norms of predatory capitalism by your conscious mind being put to sleep!
