Pokémon Go developer Niantic faced backlash after making changes to Remote Raid Passes, limiting their use and increasing their cost. Disabled players and those in rural areas were particularly affected. Niantic's social media team posted a tweet claiming that 100% of the audience approved of "going outside," but the post was quickly deleted after criticism. The company has not shown a willingness to roll back the changes or acknowledge the problems faced by the community.
