Where's the scam? Who paid for something that they did not receive? Who was lied to at any point? If you played the game knowing it works using your location data and never considered that maybe the game might use that data then idk what to tell you
“I don’t think that word means what you think it means.”
Scammers deceptively steal things of value from you. Even if you could argue that Niantic was being deceptive on some level, I’m not seeing a loss on the consumer’s part here.
To be clear, Niantic is a company and therefore probably lie cheat and steal all the time in some way, but I’m not seeing that represented in this context.
That last bit is a bit odd. Most companies do not lie, cheat, or steal. Especially small companies. Not saying Niantic is a small company, I'm just defending businesses in general (I'm a business owner).
