    the beginning text though.. XD "MatPat is not a licensed doctor or medical professional, please consult your physician for actual medical advice concerning diet and weight loss, side effects of Pokemon Go include getting hit by cars, falling into ditches, trouble with local authorities, bodily harm, and lack of situational awareness in general. Pokemon Go may or may not actually kill you. Pokemon Go is deadly. I repeat, Pokemon Go is deadly! Please help me get out of here -
    my family's been kidnapped and i'm being held here against my will." OMGGGGG (btw anyone else stop to read it?)

    Yes, I'm late, but Pokemon Go started giving warnings, saying things after loading such as “Don't play Pokemon Go whilst driving” or “Don't enter dangerous areas whilst playing” pushing players to stay safe and be aware of their surroundings so thats good.

    If someone causes a car crash because they’re texting while driving, it’s their fault. If someone causes a car crash because they were playing a game on their phone it’s still their fault. It’s the persons decision to play it or not; the game isn’t forcing them into playing the game and “causing deaths.”

    And the funniest part: None of those deaths are the fault of Pokemon GO. The players are responsible with their own safety. The app can't monitor their environment to keep them safe. All the app can do is to give warnings and remind them from time to time. So Pokemon GO actually saved lives more than it took lives, because it didn't kill anyone in the first place. It's your own stupidity and carelessness if you get injured while playing.

      Selin Naz Sur honestly I'd have to agree. sure Pokémon go can get a bit weird when you play it in its real adictive spots and something weird happens while you play it (like someone's favorite Pokémon popping up on their grave, or somebody playing it in a hospital), but technically it's your own fault if you get hurt while playing. plus, one of the loading screens on the app says to be careful and check your soroundings.

      Correct, the game regularly will tell you if you're moving too fast and ask if you're a passenger in a vehicle. If you choose to play and drive, YOU are choosing to make that decision, the game has to just accept that you're being honest when you say you're not driving. If you play with at least one other person, ride to a location together and have the passenger hold both phones, it's not hard to do.

    Ok all this is caused by humans. The app tells people to stop and look out and most things within the app csn't be done unless u are near it, so all the deaths, and everything is caused by people being stupid to not put the game down. For example u fail a test that u knew about for 3 weeks, not because the test is on things u was never taught but because U didn't study. Who's fault is it the test or u, the answer...u. This is just like the game people know it's dangerous to play and drive and play or anything like that but they still do anyway.

    It's not the game's fault, it's the users fault for being an idiot and not paying attention to their surroundings. The game itself HAS no ability to kill people. It's just easier to pass the blame to something else than taking responsibility for your own actions.

      @squdioodellover2589 6 лет назад +5

      I calculated that with an average age of 42 the number of lost years is 6864. This is worth 86 newborn lives against the 22 saved lives. So Pokemon Go still killed more people than it saved. Especially because you should consider that mainly young people play it, so the average age of death through Pokémon Go should be lower than 42 :(

    • @brodiebaxter99
      @brodiebaxter99 6 лет назад +1

      Keep in mind that the paper he is basing this whole theory on, one that he already stated in the video is biased, compares an /average/ with true data. If there were 2500 accidents in 2014, and 3500 accidents in 2015, the county's average would be 3,000. If in 2016, there were 3,250 crashes, technically, there is a difference of 250 crashes. But what is also true, is that there were 250 LESS deaths than the previous year. Because of this, the way the data is presented could tell a completely different story. To add to this, there were so many variables unaccounted for in this theory, that it's honestly a disgrace to statistics. Taking data from a single county in Indiana and extrapolating it to the ENTIRE USA is completely silly. The extrapolation didn't account for weather, regional differences, or any other thing that may impact the data. Of course there will be more Pokemon GO related crashes in a county with winding hills and unpaved roads, since it requires a lot more attention to drive on them, where as in the middle of Texas, where roads can go straight for miles at a time, it's much less likely that someone distracted by an app would get into an accident. This theory is a massive reach and honestly feels like Matthew is trying to milk Pokemon for its popularity again.

    • @brodiebaxter99
      @brodiebaxter99 6 лет назад

      Additionally, he's not factoring in the people who died into his data. The people who died while playing Pokemon GO themselves have an impact on the data. If a person was shot while trespassing playing Pokemon GO, that person was probably a lot more likely to commit a crime such as trespassing without the game. A person with that sort of lifestyle likely doesn't have a lifespan average of 79 years (like Matthew claims in his theory). If 50 people died while playing Pokemon GO who had an estimated lifespan of 30 years, that would skew the data A LOT. These are all things that must be considered when researching a topic, and Matthew has decided to completely ignore them. The video idea on its own is an extremely poorly thought out one, as it's almost impossible to gather the data required to form a proper conclusion. TL;DR: Matpat's bad at statistics this theory is bogus.

  • @Hadriex
    @Hadriex 6 лет назад +313

    umm... Matpat, your didn't math correctly.
    Or I should say, you didn't interpret your own data correctly when choosing the the numbers you used.
    First, as you pointed out, the game does not function when traveling over a certain speed. According to google it's around 6 miles an hour. The correct number you should have plugged is the percentage of car crashes that are fatal at six miles per hour (I'm guessing a very small percentage indeed). The speed cap was higher when it originally launched, so you'd need to look that up.
    Second, when totaling the number of steps to lives saved you ran the numbers under the assumption that every person who died in a car crash was a newborn.
    No really, you totally did. You used 79 years == a life, but you didn't take into consideration the average age of the people dying in automotive accidents. So if, for example, that average turned out to be 20 years old, you'd have to count each automotive fatality as 59 years of life lost rather then 79.
    You're usually much more rigorous then this.

    I'd really like to see someone do a follow-up study on those car accidents and deaths by accident. My first thought is that since accidents caused by Go would likely be very low speed (since you can't play at high speeds), the rate of death would be significantly lower than in the average car accident where there is likely to be more force behind the crash. Of course that's not taking into account the speed of other potential vehicles involved in the crash, but still...

  • @Thescott16

    Even though I hate this app for it's lack of *_PLAYER VS PLAYER_* (which every other mobile Pokemon game has [mobile not as in phones, as in "movable"]), but every single one of these deaths is NOT due to Pokemon GO; they're due to the users stupidity. It's not the game's fault people are BREAKING THE LAW in order to play this game, or that people stop LOOKING WHERE THEY'RE GOING to watch this game. The game even has build-in features so you don't have to _look_ at the screen all the time.

      He also should of assumed that a large number of users were overweight and had seriously decreased their life expectancy and this exercise was bringing them back to the average life expectancy.
      Basically: Overweight person average life expectancy = 69-59 years old (number varies by study)
      Average person = 79 years
      Equate that out to and average of 10+ years of life for each obese user.

      The slim percentage that manage to play the game enough to get into really good shape, but are street-smart enough to not get mugged or ran over or fall off a bridge doing so - are holding up humanity on their shoulders. Literal natural selection. I don't know how to feel about it.
