"Pokemon TCG Pocket" is a mobile game version of physical collection cards. After its release, it has made a lot of revenue. Not only did it exceed 60 million times in 2 months, but its sales exceeded US$200 million in the first month.
Recently, the game plans to launch the most essential part of the physical set exchange card: the card exchange function between players.However, recently the developer DeNA issued a notice to players, warning players that some regulations in their terms of use, including the use of real-world currency, are prohibited - even if this is very common in physical cards.
The announcement reads: "We are currently confirming that some players' data tampering and physical currency transactions violate the terms of use. After confirming that there are any violations of the terms of use, we will take measures such as placing warnings and disabling the account. In the future, we will alsoKeep working hard so that all players can enjoy this game with peace of mind.”
Player card swap functionality will be capped on January 29, but contains many restrictions.For example, only friends can exchange, and only cards that reach a certain degree of rarity are allowed to exchange, and a new currency will also be added to the game, and this currency will be required to be used during exchange.Most players believe that the addition of these restrictions is to prevent real money transactions outside the game.
