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 80+% (reportedly, seems more like 90+% in my area) drop in players? Minor (and major) irritations add up. Break out bugs, gym bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs. Combine this with the monotony of only seeing the same half dozen pokemon, and you have the perfect recipe for failure. And regardless of how well the game did at launch, a (reported) 80+% drop in players, in less than a year, is a failure.
