Pokémon Go developer Niantic has denied the app’s monthly earnings have dropped to a five-year low.
While the studio didn’t deny that April’s revenue was lower than the previous month, the spokesperson added: “We don’t focus on month-to-month trends because they fluctuate based on major live events.”
AppMagic’s reported data comes a month after Niantic introduced controversial changes to the way its Remote Raid system works.and limiting players to five Remote Raids per day.This led to a backlash by some players who claimed the changes amounted to a “disability tax”, because disabled or immunocompromised players who would have difficulty leaving their home nmow have to pay double to play the game remotely.
While Niantic’s spokesperson didn’t comment on whether these changes had affected the number of Remote Raid Passes purchased, they did tell Eurogamer that “this year’s changes have already increased in-person Raiding”.
