Niantic Labs Reinstates Larger Pokemon GO Interaction Radius in Following Player Outcry
The company took to its official Pokemon GO Twitter account to alert trainers to the change in the late afternoon of Wednesday, Aug. 25. This announcement comes after a massive protest by players on social media under the Twitter trend “#HearUsNiantic” and one-day public boycott “#PokemonNoDay” earlier this month—as well as a Change.org petition which has declared victory at the time of writing with almost 200,000 signatures. The two-tweet announcement thread has a combined 25,000 likes and 600 retweets at the time of writing.
