The concept is cool, but thinking about others being able to know where I am just feels a little invasive of privacy. But then again, when you use your phone everyone around you can see it, so there's really no difference besides the fact that you'll be playing with people you don't know.

I do it all the time through the PS3, but the difference is that I won't ever see those people in real life. In the game people can see eachother's location. So what if some sore loser doesn't like the fact that he lost so he decides to follow me around and act reckless?

Then I'd be forced to pull out my 9mm and threaten to kill him... And such conflicts are avoidable and shouldn't happen.

I know it may sound rediculous, but the truth is that in today's world with so many IMBECILS existing, anything is possible.

I wouldn't hesitate not one second to put a bullet into some sore loser who wants to get revenge in real life just because he lost a game. Infact, I'd probably take pleasure doing it, knowing that I just helped the world by riding it of atleast 1 idiot. 1 down, a billion to go.

A bit angry there eh? Haha.

Despite the killing thing that you said, I do agree that this can have negative repercussions. But I do assume that you get taken off the radar when you exit the app, right? Then I think everything should be fine.

I can already imagine how many ways this program can be exploited, but I hope people are smart enough to only play with the people they know and turn the app off if they're not playing and/or are not willing to confront others when playing with strangers.

It's one of those things where if you play with strangers, you have to know your limits. Otherwise, just play with friends. Oh man, this (or other programs like this) can go wrong so quickly.

But I have to admit, this game still seems pretty fun. Imagine about a hundred people with Androids playing in one city and they all consent to playing. That has to be some fun times.

It would just suck though for sore losers and people who aren't open to playing but STILL plays. Well, that's the world I guess.

"JOYity uses GPS to help users play adventure-based games with other people in the real world like it has never been done before." Oh, yes it has. LocoMatrix has been doing it for the last 2 years - not with Android (yet) but doing it all the same.
