Niantic has always kept the \u201creal-world\u201d element of Pok\u00e9mon Go <\/em>as a focus when working on new projects for the game, and the developers are once again showing that commitment\u2014much to the concern of some players. <\/p>
One such concern is already well documented, with a recent slip in the game’s backend that revealed Niantic might limit the number of Remote Raids players can access<\/a> in a single day. This has led to growing ire from the community, especially when some prices in the in-game shop have increased since then\u2014leading to talks of general boycotts<\/a> for the game.\u00a0<\/p>
\u201cI don’t blame them for wanting to be committed to making the game appealing to play outside\/IRL,\u201d Reddit user krispyboiz said<\/a>. \u201cI just hope they’ll add incentives and enhance such play rather than nerfing other methods of play.\u201d<\/p>

\u201c[They] continue to screw over rural players, disabled players, people that work odd schedules, parents, and anyone who felt that the changes in 2020-21 were overall for the better and increased enjoyment of the game,\u201d Reddit user Curiosities said<\/a>. \u201cThey could have incentivized in-person and rolled out features and community stuff without taking all of the improvements away.\u201d<\/p>
Hopefully, Niantic will listen to the community here<\/a> and not tear down some of the features it has implemented over the last three years, but signs point to that not being the case<\/a>. For now, we will just have to wait and see when an actual update is shared.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
