    Can you prove this is worse than an insideous, shitty company like Niantic? No. No you cannot.

    FUCK Niantic, and fuck this xenophobic noise.

      Yes I can. Saudi Arabia is where modern slavery still happens. Women have no rights. The country funds proxy wars in the Middle East. Everyone who’s rich in that country is rich through exploiting oil, religion, terrible work conditions, or some combination of all the above. The only other country that out-does them on this front is The United Arabic Emirates.

      A succesful company in that country would be party to all those things. Giving money to such a company would be giving money in support of all these things, as the money you give them becomes part of their economy. Pokemon GO would only be bought by any company because they see the potential of it becoming a money printing machine.

      Being critical =/= xenophobic.

      Yes, i’d love my data to be owned by oil barons that want to see me decapitated.

      The sauds are the most evil people alive. And i’m saying this as an arab.
