Original message from 4 March 2022: Often it seems as existing between the developers and the players of Pokémon Go insurmountable differences. The one expresses their criticism mostly very loud and directly, and often for fear, absolutely not to be heard. And the others bear this noise with stoic peace - some may call it iron ignorance - while they felt their soup so cook as they hold it right.

Yes, between the players and developers at Niantic prevails in the broadest sense, something like a hate love. But if necessary, then you can also get together for the most part. And so Pokémon-Go-, ingress and other players with the developers of the games are pleased that a few hundred thousand US dollars are donated for the good cause.
