"Why is Niantic so exploitative lately?"

#PokemonGO: Lockdown happens and they add a bunch of amazing changes to keep the player base. But, instead of allowing us to remote raid with our existing premium and free daily passes, they introduce a new paid only item for remote raiding. Exploitation.They finally release mega evolutions, something many people have been eagerly awaiting. But, instead of giving a mega stone and possibly some kind of cooldown, they gate it behind raids, essentially making it rent-a-mega. Even the most pessimistic player expectations were not as bad as what Niantic did. Exploitation.And this pokestop scan quest thing. Clearly this has core business strategy advantage application that will benefit all of Niantic's current and future business endeavors. What reward do they give for getting the players to do some of the most important data collection of their business? Rare candy? Poke coins? NO! Common pokeballs or a single max potion. Exploitation.Niantic, you are killing the players. via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/3kQmOjO
