Pokemon GO developer Niantic has issued a statement addressing two of the major changes implemented in the hugely popular augmented reality title in the weekend’s title update.
Sadly for fans the studio hasn’t really said anything to calm their anger.
“We have removed the ‘3-step’ display in order to improve upon the underlying design,” explained Niantic. “The original feature, although enjoyed by many, was also confusing and did not meet our underlying product goals. We will keep you posted as we strive to improve this feature.”
Regarding the end of third-party services, such as PokeVision, Niantic said: “We have limited access by third-party services which were interfering with our ability to maintain quality of service for our users and to bring Pokémon GO to users around the world.
“The large number of users has made the roll-out of Pokémon GO around the world an… interesting… challenge. And we aren’t done yet! Yes, Brazil, we want to bring the game to you (and many other countries where it is not yet available).”
The team added: “We have read your posts and emails and we hear the frustration from folks in places where we haven’t launched yet, and from those of you who miss these features. We want you to know that we have been working crazy hours to keep the game running as we continue to launch globally.”
A reddit thread full of Pokemon GO players seeking refunds on their in-app purchases shows no sign of slowing down.
