Pokémon Go’s most high profile players have called upon developer Niantic to reconsider its decision to remove the game’s extended interaction range, which was implemented last year as the pandemic hit.
Influencers, YouTubers and community leaders have today used their sizable social media footprints to all share an open letter to Niantic setting out the reasons why they believe the game’s extended interaction distance should remain, several days after it was reverted in the US and New Zealand.
The list of reasons includes being able to play while further socially distanced, and keeping the game extra accessible for less able players. Other reasons listed include being able to play further away from the general public for personal safety reasons, and further away from businesses or landmarks to avoid congestion.
