Pokémon Go players slam Niantic for locking bonus content behind Party Play
Pokémon Go players are frustrated with Niantic for introducing Special Research tasks that require party participation, a move made to promote the new Party Play feature introduced this week.
This decision has upset players for two main reasons. Firstly, many players prefer playing solo and aren’t thrilled about being pushed to play in groups. Secondly, these tasks, which they have no interest in completing, will permanently clutter their task list because the game doesn’t allow them to skip or delete tasks.
