"What most people who defend Niantic don't really understand, and why most are pretty mad with them"

#PokemonGO: Like first of all Im not even gonna say it's justified what they're doing by taking so long to push updates, they might be a small company but they have a huge fucking game in their hands, which means they're generating a LOT of cash, therefore they should have hired more people already, but the TRUE reason why most of us are mad isn't even just the fact that they aren't pushing content updates enough, but it's their lack of COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPARENCY within the company towards the community, why and how that should be changed?Yes they might be working on a goddamn big content patch with a bunch of stuff and that's great, why not fucking tell us then? How hard is it to just come and say, "we're working hard to develop and push generation 2 or this and that feature to live, stay tuned". Why the hell do they always send an update and DO NOT TELL US WHAT IS IN THE UPDATE I've seriously never seen that kind of shit before, if you gonna add a speedlock, or you gonna improve something, or something is bugged and you're working on a fix TELL US ABOUT IT. Check Overwatch's patch notes, League of Legends patch notes, even motherfucking diablo III patch notes when they rarely happen, they ALL acknowledge there are bugs and the ones they fixed, having a bug in a game is NOTHING to be ashamed of, and everyone will notice it when it's there, let us know if you fixed it, and if not yet that you're aware and working on it, we know some bugs that don't have a known reproduction method are hard to pinpoint and fix, but dear god be transparent about your actions. Right now when you make a twitter post or something you get riddled with people complaining and everything else and calling names, you know why? Because you're not fucking transparent, YES riot games makes a LOT of mistakes with the way they handle League, but when they announce stuff people don't go apeshit on them because they usually communicate with us about what's happening and what's not (and they learned from past mistakes when they said X and did Y or just did Y without saying anything, soloQ removal for instance).Learn something from Jeff Kaplan and the Overwatch team, always communicating their intentions, I've yet to see someone not praise jeff kaplan. Now learn something from Riot, even with all the mistakes they made, nobody can deny how easy it is to get a clearance on issues, they have a bunch of rioters on reddit, their forums, weekly ask riots, big patch notes, they all admit bugs and people don't go like "man ovw and LoL are buggy can't believe games have bugs" the way niantic seems to fear admitting them.TL:DR : Be more transparent and communicate with your community, let us know what is your intentions with the game and what we are waiting for in terms of content, we don't mind the wait, we don't mind the bugs, we mind not knowing if they're being worked upon and fixed. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2jzkHEC
