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.

Niantic Struggles with Remote Raid Changes and HearUsNiantic Movement in Pokemon Go.

Niantic has commented on the recent changes to the Remote Raid Pass system in Pokemon Go, stating that the decision to add limitations and adjust the pricing was difficult but necessary. Internal data showed that some players were doing dozens or even hundreds of legendary raids in a single day without leaving home, which was antithetical to the game's original vision. The changes were made to get the game back to what the team first envisioned, with a focus on physical locations in the real world and fostering local communities. The comments came during an interview discussing the new Shadow Raids, which begin on May 22.

Pokemon Go Players Lose Interest Due to Remote Raid Nerf and Lack of Incentives.

Pokemon Go raid participation has reportedly seen a massive drop following the Remote Raid Pass nerfs, according to backend statistics of a popular raid simulator and ranking fan website, Pokebattler.com. From April 6 to April 28, user traffic for the website and app went down a staggering 54.75 percent. Before the Raid Pass changes in March, the site apparently averaged around 200,000 visitors a month, spiking for a total of nearly 800,000 during big raid events.

"Controversy Surrounds Pokémon GO's Remote Raid Pass Changes"

Players of Pokemon GO are planning a mass boycott of the game on April 6 in response to Niantic's decision to double the price of remote raid passes, which are essential for players to participate in raids without physically going to a location. The price hike has caused frustration among players, particularly those with disabilities or living in remote areas. Niantic's decision is seen as an attempt to encourage players to go outside and meet people, but it is also viewed as a business decision to generate more revenue. Some datamining suggests that Niantic may offer a compromise price of 150 coins.
