DetroitFreePress: Nintendo says its mission is to “put smiles on people’s faces.”
Scott and Jayme Dodich of St. Clair Shores aren’t smiling. Pokémon Go, they say, is making them miserable — so they’ve decided to sue the video game giant and its wildly successful game in federal court.
After weeks of complaining about Pokemon players trampling their landscaping, peering into their windows and even cussing at them, the Dodiches have filed a class action lawsuit, claiming Pokémon Go developers and owners have made millions of dollars while ruining the quality of life for many Americans. They claim the so-called Pokestops and gyms — which are actually GPS coordinates for Pokemon hunters looking for virtual creatures — are being placed on or near private property without the permission of owners.

I hope they win!
Definitely lawsuit worthy. That is just BS.
Careful that the offenders don’t own a prayer rug.

I want in on that. I have one in my living room – no joke.
I believe that new Pokémon is called the Holeytung Humalicka.

If they had so many trespassers, did they catch them all?
I think the Dodichs should put up some strategically placed claymores or some steel bear traps if they want to avoid a messy clean-up.
There’s your knockout game for the inner city mongrels.
Er, well, it’s hardly Nintendo’s fault. The game is a sort of prototype, and they are working out all of the problems. This couple… I can understand why they’re upset, but suing Nintendo isn’t going to help them stop the trespassers. [btw, I have pokemon go and only catch ’em all safely away from people’s home and property, like churches are cool, right? RIGHT!?]
Chuffed, if a company creates an advertising scheme that directs people to trespass on your property, they are not at fault?
Even if the advertising directs people to your property?
This app often creates the same situation one would have if a large furniture store offered a free ottoman to the first 500 people to show up on chuffed’s front lawn.
Commercial enterprises have NO right to use your property without consent to sell their wares. They don’t even have the right to use public property for that activity.
Nintendo needs to be forced to purchase rights from every property owner whose property is used to showcase their product.
Otherwise it is theft.
