Mark Gore, is a British computer expert living in South Ham. He is the man who developed a cheat bot for Pokemon GO that helps users play without having to go out of their homes.
In an interview with a local newspaper, Basingstoke said he created the bot when he discovered vulnerabilities in Niantic's Pokemon GO servers.
He then used these flaws to create a website where users can play the game without leaving their homes. He has currently developed some tools exscamof Pokemon Go which are mostly advertised through Reddit themes.
Niantic, meanwhile, the company that launched Pokemon GO for Nintendo, announced last weekend that it will begin definitive exclusions for players who cheat on its servers.
Mark Gore, although he has received legal pressure to download his website, does not have such plans.
"If you look at the age group of people who play this game, not all teenagers play. "There are a lot of people who work all day and do not have the time to spend hours every day going out and catching Pokemon," Mark Gore told the newspaper.
"They can run for two hours a day at home and still have the same levels."
The 25-year-old developer said he has received thousands of pounds in donations and that around 24.000 users have access on his website on a regular basis.
It remains to be seen when Niantic will be able to drop his website.
