Pokemon Go community flames Niantic over now-deleted ‘going outside’ meme
Niantic has had a very mixed month, taking backlash from players across several of its games for bugs and gameplay changes while also announcing it is working on a new game—Monster Hunter Now.
The biggest area of concern surrounded the developer’s decision to limit Remote Raids in Pokémon Go, which also made it less accessible for players overall as a way to push players to play Pokémon Go in person. Players have been actively boycotting the game or pushing back against this reasoning and changes since they were leaked in February, and now the community is flaming Niantic after the company tried to joke about its “going outside” approach.
