[Mobile Games] Pokémon GO players mobilize with a petition that already accumulates 44,051 signatures against the latest changes

[#Steeven.™]

Niantic plans to introduce more limitations when it comes to accessing remote raids, which would make the experience difficult for many users.

Although it is true that it no longer enjoys the po[CENSORED]rity it enjoyed after its launch, Pokémon GO continues to be the favorite mobile application for thousands of players. For this reason, Niantic strives to keep the public's attention by introducing improvements, events and features that slightly vary the experience of collecting pocket monsters, although their latest idea has been heavily criticized among members of the community.

Back around the time of COVID-19, Niantic implemented 'remote raids' where users could engage in combat against other players from long distances, which was a big step forward for those who lived in remote areas or couldn't get around easily. . However, the community is now criticizing Niantic's latest moves to increase the price of passes to participate in remote raids and drastically limit the number of raid-style raids that can be participated in each day.

In this way, it has not taken long for a petition to come out on Change.org against the ideas that Niantic wants to implement in Pokémon GO for the following updates. At the moment, this initiative has 44,051 signatures at the time of writing this news and is described as follows:

"Niantic Inc. and the developers of Pokémon GO have decided to drastically increase the price of Remote Raid Passes and limit the number of Remote Raid Passes you can participate in each day. This impacts the majority of Pokémon GO players. who have enjoyed this aspect of the game since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic when we were all forced into lockdown and couldn't play this title as intended.
It's been 3 years since these changes were implemented, the remote raid aspect of this game has grown immensely. Unfortunately, with this decision, Niantic has failed to consider how these changes will impact the community. They haven't considered rural players or players who don't have a local community of people to raid with. They have not considered what this price increase and limitation means for coaches who do not have the privilege of leaving their homes to play a game.
This includes disabled and differently-abled people, parents, immunocompromised people, and many more. This community has come together in the past to speak out against accessibility issues, and we hope that with this petition, we can show Niantic that they need to roll back these changes if they care about their community more than their profits."

 

All Announcements From The Latest Pokemon Presents
Niantic has not yet ruled on this request, so we will be attentive to their publications in case they decide to reverse their decisions with remote raids. Regarding Nintendo's plans with other projects of the brand, it should be noted that the latest Pokémon Presents revealed the existence of a DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Purple, a series in collaboration with Netflix and other initiatives that maintain the general interest of the public.
