you can't blame the company. Maybe the parents should not give phones or tablets to kids. maybe the parents should not allow them to play the game. If a kid gets cut with a knife, you don't blame the company. If a kid gets choked on a food, you don;t blame the hot dog company. I can spend the whole day mentioning similar cases where the company is not liable at all.
Those aren't really similar cases, though. This is a game that is designed for people to be walking outside, staring at their phone, which would obviously mean they aren't as aware of their surroundings. And the company KNOWS this - hence the warning when you start the game. Again, I've always said that people should be responsible for their actions, but there have been thousands of lawsuits against companies for farrrrrrrrrrrr less. It's only a matter of time, honestly.
I guess I'm confused by what you mean here. Are you thinking people will sue and win?
Have the developers of basic texting apps been successfully sued for deaths resulting from people getting hit by a car while texting as a pedestrian or while texting and driving?
Again, texting apps aren't made to be used while outside and walking around. Not really the same. I don't know if they will win in court or not, but I think the lawsuits are inevitable. Given the number of people playing, accidents are almost guaranteed to happen, and when kids are injured, people sue and blame everyone else.
