If 50% are bots (I am guessing around 80%, but let's entertain the thought) that is 2.375 million accs that are actually legit.
they are selling inflated numbers to everyone and building on speculation and on the hopes that they will get their shit together and ppl will actually get back to the game. Well hope is not a method...
This will probability be the end of Niantic, even if it doesn't kill them outright, they will become radioactive, they will be known as the guys that had the rights to licence the "Pokemon" brand and ****ed up big time (let's forget about the botters for a sec, look at their system, it is a mess, above lvl 20 feels like a grind fest, you have to catch the same pkmn over and over gain, the rattata with 23 cp breaks free when a lvl 25 player throws an ultra ball, after the berry and then flees, there are no pkmn to speak of outside big capital cities and the list goes on and on)
Do you know how many companies would kill for that opportunity? Hell bethesda with no knowledge about mobile games produced a decent app. Bethesda. And Niantic with all their experience ****ed up this bad? No one will invest a cent once this game dies
