I can see why: a new study says that Pokemon Go led to an increase in traffic deaths and accidents.

That, combined with the generally reduced player numbers seen since Pokmon Go's release, suggest the game's current effect on vehicular carnage may be reduced from that shown in the study.

Sensationalism pure and simple

Plus distraction-related driving deaths are actually down on a national level, the increase is due to drunken driving, speeding, not wearing seatbelts, etc. So unless Pokemon Go comes with beer, it's not doing anything.
