there actually was a game like this waaaay back in the day. you’d stake claims to areas, and people could come by and challenge you. there were also monsters n stuff. it wasn’t super hi-fi, mostly using 2D sprites on Google Maps, but it was pretty cool. i always thought it had potential. the Ingress came along and sucked up all the air in the space, eventually going on to develop Pokémon Go.
