Why does every article fail to mention that the ingame map only updates once every 3 years or so? And that this griefing is most likely done once per person, until they find out that the game isn’t updated? (Because it’s not sensational)
I wish I thought of this before getting rid of the phone…
I, and a friend of mine also experienced this. I believe it started after the “final” update, but there’s no way to know. Needless to say i won’t ever buy, or recommend, a google device ever again.
I’n just wondering how they can just get away with breaking the law for 5 years…
I did not know that, that is hillarious.
I’m altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it further.
It does not. But it means they are trying to limit the damage caused by griefers, and moreso than just displaying a popup message with “please don’t grief openstreetmaps” or something. Imagine how bad it would be if changes to openstreetmaps actually were immediately imported into the game…
