TheSavageDragon 04/06/23 6:26:38 PM #6:	KogaSteelfang posted... It is? What for? Gobstoppers12 posted... Why is there a Pokmon Go strike day at all? During the pandemic they added Remote Raid passes so you could do nearby raids from the comfort of your own home or get invited by friends from all around the world to join their raids. Since their inclusion in 2020 they cost 100 pokecoins for a single pass and 300 for 3. Now Niantic has upped the price to 195 pokecoins for a single pass and 525 for 3. Along with limiting how many Remote Raids one can do in a single day. Their given reasoning is "we want the community to socialize outdoors", but it's really more of a "we can't harvest enough geodata from you guys if you aren't out and about all the time". <cite>TheSavageDragon posted [p:972682108] in Oh shit i ...

Maybe not now if everyone actually follows through on quitting People are likely walking less now and giving Niantic less geodata as a result. It's a combination of COVID and remote raid passes. Users who walk less are also less likely to be active overall on the go app outside of raids, which also means catching less Pokemon and spending less on the app. I get that they want money and people back to walking and doing in person raids again, but they should give further incentives to people who do walk more and in person raids, and not penalize the people who prefer raiding remotely.More XL candy for in person raids as an incentive is a joke. I'm kind of willing to bet that they are making more money from remote raids from regular users before this update than in person raids before remote raids were implemented. But my guess is that they are also not using the app as much outside of raids and community days/special events. --- Less is more.
