Niantic's Response to HearUsNiantic Movement Sparks Pokémon GO Player Outrage.

Pokémon GO game director Michael Steranka has responded to the fan backlash over the recent update that increased Remote Raid Pass prices and limited daily participation, acknowledging how the development team has "definitely taken note". He believes it is necessary for the future of the game and the way players engage with it. The team would not make compromises on the mission, and the change was necessary for the "long-term health of the overall game" and Niantic's own principles of encouraging players to get outside and explore the world together.
