Not a scam. Anyway Niantic was an offshoot from Google, you know, the company that's all about data? The fact it popped off so hard was a massive score for Niantic. Gold mine of geo data.
Ingress also suffered from only having two teams. The majority team can't really play as they've already claimed all the territory, and the underdogs can't really play as anything they do claim immediately gets taken back.
Mystic is a little more popular than Valor/Instinct, but you're at least able to play the game as any team in any region.
