More the same ol same ol. Bugs and breakouts. Nothing to see here, move along.

Niantic has to be one of the most incompetent companies in history. All that free publicity and goodwill from launch, absolutely squandered. Last summer, everyone was playing this game. Anywhere you went, there were 100s of people pokemoning. Nowadays? Youre luck to see 2 or 3 other people playing.

So why the 90+% drop in players? Minor (and major) irritations add up. Eventually most people just decided the game wasnt fun anymore. Finally see a rare pokemon, feed it a razzberry, get a great or excellent shot with your best ball, only to have it break out and run away. How many times do you think people will let this happen before they uninstall? Bundle this in with company ineptitude and a complete disregard for customers, and you have a recipe for failure. And regardless of how well the game did at launch, a 90+% drop in players, in less than a year, is a failure.
