"Remote raids = slot machine style addiction"

#PokemonGO: Just a thought after spending the last hour trying to get that elusive shiny Raquazza. After all of the fanfare about remote raiding and the ability to invite friends, has anyone stepped back to see just how much of a cash cow this is for Niantic?If like me your stuck indoors as you have to quarantine or you are vulnerable, but you live right by a very active Discord community, then there is serious pressure (not overt) to join and contribute to raids. The fear of missing out on the latest “rare” shiny, the feeling that you must help your friends. You all know deep down what this feeling is.Why are Niantic not giving out a daily free remote raid pass? On raid day why do they not give out 5 free passes as they used to do on other raid specific days such as zapdos or articuno for example?This I would suggest is profiteering on a grand scale, and it is encouraging an addiction in the younger players of Po Go (not to mention those of us who should be old enough to know better, like me).I think that Niantic should think very carefully about the repercussions that this might cause long term. via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/3ftAhe1
