In today’s newsletter: Pokémon GO gathers 190,000 people in Madrid for Pokémon Fest, a game 22 years in the making has just released, we review Terraria, and one of “Our Picks” are on sale!

🎮 190,000 190,000 People Went to Pokémon GO Fest Madrid With 70% Coming From Abroad!

We all know Pokémon GO is very popular - but 190,000 people traveling to meet up and play a mobile game is pretty extraordinary. The game came out in 2016, and is probably still the most widespread AR game.

With 70% of attendees visiting from abroad, this is also a good tourist attraction for Madrid as a city with people staying in hotels, visiting tourist attractions, eating at restaurants, and so on! It’s exciting to live in a time where a mobile game can produce such a community and get people to meet up in real life!

Do you play Pokémon GO? And would you attend something like this if it came to a city near your (or are you one of the 70% who will travel to catch exclusive Pokémons?) Let me know at the bottom of this newsletter!
