Niantic Commits to Elevating Game Quality: Addressing Problems and Bugs Head-on. It’s hardly an exaggeration to say that Pokemon Go is experiencing a very negative community attitude. Numerous trainers have expressed frustration with the mobile game due to events such as the Remote Raid Pass nerf, followed by multiple problematic events and “technical issues.”
The developer’s answer to the #HearUsNiantic movement, in which Niantic made it clear they had yet to make plans to address the two-month-long campaign directly, likewise failed to win the developer any favor with the community. If we believe the statements made at a recent hands-on event, Niantic is actively examining the overall quality of Pokemon Go.
Niantic claims to be concentrating on the quality of Pokemon Go
The comments were provided by Eurogamer, which had the opportunity to quiz Niantic employees at a hands-on event in Los Angeles, California. The journal specifically inquired about the facts surrounding the recent Shiny rate bug in Remote Raids concerning Sinnoh’s Lake Trio and the company’s efforts to avert similar issues in the future. The Pokemon Go Director of Product Management, Alex Moffit, informed the media that the dev team was “aware of the root cause” and that “the issue was resolved as [Niantic] communicated.” However, members of the development team could not comment on the technical element of the bug due to their absence.
Moffit added, “But the more significant issue I would touch on there is quality. It’s an important matter, and we haven’t been the best over much of our history. And our leadership team continuously reiterates that message from the very top. Although Moffit acknowledged Niantic had more space for improvement, he asserted that “meaningful change” and “behind the scenes” work had already occurred throughout 2023. Since we know we can and want to improve, some knowledgeable people are working diligently to improve things. The director of product management ended by promising Pokemon Go enthusiasts that there would be more to come. For now, only time will tell if Niantic can achieve its goal of raising the game’s overall quality.
