Gizmodo article shows that this buggy, can't-connecty mobile game has been a huge fucking success. In just 2 days, Nintendo's stock spiked over 25% by 7.5 Billion dollars. Fuckin hell, how do I rewind time and get a stick broker dunno all my money into Nintendo so that I can sell an that shit now?! According to the article, Pokémon Go is being used/downloaded more than Tinder and Instagram, and is on the path to surpass Twitter as well.

This success is surprising, but I've seen it taking place my Facebook feed. On launch day, many of my friends were posting screenshots of the game, and at least one was one of my closest high school friends. I thought she didn't like Pokémon or video games in general, but she happily posted a picture of a weedle in her bread basket at what appeared to be an Olive Garden.

Here's the full article: http://gizmodo.com/p...-two-1783439513

GO is now the biggest mobile game in US history toppling 2013's Candy Crush Saga. Also I should note GO is about to pass Google Maps and Snapchat in active users on Android.

To put this popularity in perspective, more people were searching for Pokemon / GO info than porn for a time. Of course this won't last.
