"Scarcity of stops and gyms is killing the game in Africa."

#PokemonGO: I used to live in North America, have played the game in Europe and Latin America. Now I have been living in an African capital city with more than 2 million inhabitants and only three gyms and twelve pokestops scattered along the city, many kilometers one from the other.Against all odds, there is a small but vibrant PoGo community here which has been relived by the new system (before gyms were stagnant for months with the same spoofer's Blissey walls). But now that information is circulating more, Africans are starting to see videos of people spoofing in places like New York, London or Paris and how the game is something totally different in those places. People here are so frustrated about being starved out of the game that they're feeling spoofing is totally vindicated.And to add insult to injury, now we see a lot of cities in Europe where there is a bigger Ingress community gaining even more stops and gyms while in Africa people fell like being left behind. I really think this social-economical approach to stops and gyms is killing the game in Africa and Niantic should actively do something about it. But again, the company and this community might not even care. Maybe it's time to open for submission of stops in areas where the population/stops ratio is completely out of balance? Maybe at least some specific programme for Africa? via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2urlMn2
