Pokémon Go players are up in arms over Niantic’s response to the HearUsNiantic movement after the company broke its silence about it for the first time in a Dot Esports exclusive interview. The community accused Niantic of “sidestepping” the issue, “underestimating the outrage,” and trying to bury it under the hype of releasing new content.
In the May 18 interview, Niantic said it has “taken note” of the movement, admitting it was “hard to ignore.” Still, the company doubled down on its decision, claiming it has no plans to address any of the concerns raised. It explained Remote Raid Passes were changed because they were an “unhealthy way to engage with the game” and “didn’t align” with the kind of experience Niantic was trying to create, so it was “necessary for the longevity of the game.”
