   (Nakano-city's city feature is residensial area and commercial area are nearby, if many Ingress players visit there, will have influence on living environment.)
3. Attitudes toward monetization : From December 2015, Ingress has official event paid tickets, in-app billing store and establish advertisement monetizing with partership portals. Yokosuka-city started with Ingress was completely free and now Ingress has monetizing but it's satisfy individual's desire of collecting, not as level up with payments, they doesn't change their mind. On the other hand, Nakano-city stopped promoting as a cause of moneytizing.
