  • Niantic gonna Niantic, again. And most of the article isn't about those job cuts and canned projects, despite billions of dollars of revenue! I mean, dang.

  • Horrendously depressing. As someone who has played GO since launch, it's sad to see how many steps backwards they've taken recently. And I had no idea they even had any staff cuts... just more salt in the wound. As a player, their bad decisions are definitely noticeable. /:

  • Article updated.

    - They released a dev diary entry for June! On the 7th/8th of July (depending on your part of the world). No acknowledgement of the delay, and the entry isn't great at being more than a summary/advert of an upcoming feature, but... it is something.

    - Another detail added as someone pointed out to me Axew cannot be shiny since the Global GO Fest. That was a month ago!
