With its desire to prevent shutting out people with disabilities from major cultural phenomena, could it be true that Niantic has removed GPS spoofing from the anti-cheat system and considered them legal?
"Motherboard interviewed a Pokemon GO player who happens to be a person with disability. Her name is Ana Mardoll, an avid player who just bid farewell to her Pokemon GO account due to the permanent banned she got from using GPS spoofing using android emulator. Being a scoliosis patient, Ana has found it difficult to play Pokemon GO without tweaking her GPS location due to disability. Because of that, she suggested having the GPS spoofing legal but Niantic should put a limitation or disallowed players who have been flagged for taking advantage of it while doing battles for the gyms.
However, despite having difficulties, Ana revealed that she understood Niantic's point of eliminating cheating through the use of anti-cheat system. But there are things she wished to suggest to the game's developer. In her list, she mentioned that Pokemon GO should come with a keypad that mimics the act of walking around. Second, she suggested removing the localization so that all Pokemon will show up."
If this plea will be granted, Niantic should be careful with their logic this time most especially when it comes to accessibility. What's your thought, are you in favor in legalizing the GPS spoofing in Pokemon Go?
