Are Sony or MS capable of creating a cultural phenomenon like Pokemon Go?

Actually, it isn't the job of the app maker to ensure the child understands proper use.  That is on the parents.  That is called raising and teaching a child.

Secondly, that part when you start the app up that warns you about being aware at all times?  6 or 60, your own responsibilty.  Too young for it to be your own responsibility?  Then your parents should've made sure you didn't have a cell phone with access to the app.

And perhaps if more people told parents it was their fault for not monitoring their child well enough we wouldn't have people trying to pass blame for the actions of individuals onto companies.

You're actually defending corporation who don't give two fucks about human life or the consequences of their products as long as it makes money and they're not liable to the law. It name calll here but I'm above conversing with someone who has their priorities set to blindly worship companies over basic human compassion and morals.

You are making an awful lot of assumptions about me there.  I am not defending corporations, I am holding people accountable for their own actions.  Based on what you are saying no one should ever make an item that could potentially result in harm to another human because of some weird moral obligation to hand-hold humanity through life.  It doesn't work that way.  In your world would we have knives to cut our meat?  Or would those be too dangerous for the children who don't have parents teaching them how to use them?
