At the rate Niantic is going, rolling out useless updates instead of the Pokemon GO game we were promised, the company could be well on its way down the bottom-pit of every player's favorites list. Although there are still quite many players who are willing to splurge on the game, most are realizing it's slowly becoming fruitless. Pokemon GO is getting old way too fast.
Pokemon GO Might Become Better If Niantic Sells
Players who still play the game are the loyal hopefuls who wish to see the Pokemon GO they were promised from the very start. However, it's been four months since Niantic has released the game and Pokemon GO still doesn't have a tracker and a bottling system, among other things that players wish to be implemented.
One frustrated Reddit user vented that Niantic would be better off selling Pokemon GO, or even Ingress - the other augmented reality game by the same development company. Under the new company, the game might achieve the dream Pokemon game every trainer is waiting for - along with having a community manager that interacts with the fans as having an open relationship is surely beneficial for both parties - which Niantic has been known to avoid.
Niantic Selling Pokemon GO Is The Dream
Fans have speculated and theorized that although that would be the ideal scenario at this point, Niantic will probably never sell as the application still makes them millions. Pokemon GO is allegedly on track to make more money than all other Pokemon products combined. A claim supported by the fact that although fans have issues with the game, they admitted to spending more than a hundred dollars just to make their gameplay easier and more tolerable.
Some educated buyers were ready to spend money on the game even though they've never spent money on any mobile game before but decided against it when Niantic started chipping away features. So in retrospect, Pokemon GO should've been earning more than what they earn now. But due to recent bad decisions and useless rollouts, Niantic could be earning less. Billions of dollars is still a big number, so why should Niantic care?
