Although it's been out for just a month, Pokemon Go is already bleeding users. A new SurveyMonkey Intelligence report indicates that the game's user base has dropped by over 20% since its peak usage last month. The analytics company estimates that the game peaked at just under 40 million weekly average
There will always be a large percentage drop once the curiosity factor is done.
you don’t “gotta catch em all”.
Move on to other things...
No surprise there. I expect there will be even greater reductions in users when everyone has started school.
To each their own but I find video games in general extremely boring and childish. I’d much rather open a good book and a bottle of wine.
That’s actually a really good retention rate for a mobile game though.
Just another dying fad.
Pokeman Go F yourselves.
I like that too. The problem is after half a bottle I loose my place and wind up reader the same page over and over again. Then I go to sleep.
“Although it’s been out for just a month, Pokemon Go is already bleeding users.”
I’m not sure how anyone could have assumed that the massive crowds trying it were going to remain.
And speaking of bleeding users, that created an app called “GOPe Go” has this beat in that department.
Amen. Bump! What a waste of time.
Its just another lunar inspired mass hypnotic movement.
Its where the word lunacy comes from, the moon passing through a certain influence does indeed affect the masses.
Please don’t tell me anyone thought this idiocy had any staying power.
Maybe all the Pokeys have been caught. Isn’t there some sort of catch and release law?
My boss recently asked how my previous night went after work “...did you have a glass of wine then fall asleep in your chair?” Pretty much nailed it, but there was a book in my lap as well (and I didn’t even finish the one glass of wine). In my defense, I work evenings so that night all the members of my family were already in bed and asleep when I got home.
If I want to read more than a couple pages I must have tea rather than wine.
Yea, nothing like walking around random parking lots, parks and such chasing digital creatures like a zombie...
That would get old in about 30 seconds...
I grew up in 50s just across the river from DC. There were 2 major papers there back then, the liberal Evening Star and the conservative morning Washington Post. On Sundays my parents would read me the comics, loved Pogo.
“I’d much rather open a good book and a bottle of wine.”
Seems like an odd sentiment coming from Sam Adams.
Fads will come and go, but the attention span on millennials is getting shorter and shorter. Since everything is instant gratification with them, the duration for fads is likewise getting shorter.
