Ok, some people are officially taking it too far. I get some people are mad but just because someone likes to play the game doesn’t mean you have to bring them down.

I’ve never seen THAT hate flowing around here but of course it’s unacceptable. I feel like hardcore fandoms are quick to threaten and bully at times. It’s so foreign to me. For example, I’m very upset at the raid passes change but it would never be in my repertoire to just threaten the Niantic team. However, where I grew up, threats have real repercussions.
FleeceKing has been very vocal about the impact that Niantic have had on marginalised groups. These people are ill. It’s a fucking game.
Sure, Niantic’s changes have been pretty horrible lately, but if that is the reasoning for telling someone to KILL themselves just because they still play a GAME, then there is clearly something wrong with you
I deal with this every time i say that i still enjoy the game like it kinda makes me wanna make the remote raid passes to 1 million coins instead
Humanity once more showing that they it really forgets that some people have their own rights to make their own decions
I bet these people don’t care about the community either. If they would, they wouldn’t tell other people stuff like “if you only killed yourself”. But hey, as long as it is manipulative, insulting and disgusting it’s all fine, am i right?
This is just a mobile game. People need to chill.
I don’t watch his content but even so these reactions are just going way to far. As long as he enjoys the game who cares that he spends money on it?.
I can understand that people are mad about what’s happening with the game right now but there is no need to take your hate out on someone else
It hilarious that people think Niantic bad, so then they turn around and act like the worst humans.
It’s a game people. Not to sound all hippy, but on a cosmic scale this is such an insignificant problem. Everyone is upset about the raids. But don’t let something like this make you so angry and take away from your joy. And certainly don’t let Niantic or a game affect your mental health. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
Wow that’s fucking horrible. I am so sorry for whoever is on the receiving end of that. do what makes you happy, and if playing pogo does it, then do it.
That’s awful dude.
“I used to love this game until it got more expensive, now I don’t play anymore and I hate anyone that spends money on it. Kys.”
Fleece has already talked about his mental struggles and taken breaks because of it before. Making it extra crappy of people to be that way toward him
This is certainly the extreme, but in general I think people have been getting WAY too upset about this. I’m not a fan of the new pricing either, but I never once lost sight of the fact that Niantic is a company, and they’re trying to make money, as much money as possible, and I don’t fault them for that. I also have no problem with boycotts, as that’s the power the consumer has to try and make changes, but people talking about Niantic being vile, and being disgusted by what they do, and wanting everyone at Niantic to be fired for this, is just ridiculous. They’re not withholding food or other essential items, they changed the price in a game so that its slightly hard to do remote raids. That’s it, nothing more.
Is this because he said he’s probably going to all the fests?
This is beyond “bringing them down”, encouraging suicide can be considered criminal in some cases. This is so unnecessary 🙁
Twitter is rancid, hard to believe people act like this
Imagine caring that much about a freemium game
People will tell streamers and YouTubers to “find a real job” and then continue to watch TV or Netflix all day 🤦🏼♂️
Maybe Niantic did these people a favour, because now that they’re no longer playing Pokemon GO they might have some spare time to get some therapy.
Humans are so toxic, especially online.
Don’t worry I’m still playing everyday also
this sub is unhinged, if you don’t like pokemongo stop playing it. there are so many other pokemon games and this one is free. just enjoy it, damn
I play Pokémon Go. What’s the big deal?
I’ve received some hate like this just for saying I still play. People are scary
Bruh what happened? I stopped watching him b/c school and now he’s getting death threats like wtf he ain’t responsible for all of the things niantic put up lately, he’s just a regular player like all of us that wants to play the game.
My 2 cents … I subscribed to this sub to hear about fun things other players are doing. Instead it’s a daily vitriol about Niantic. I think having a place to vent is fine but it reminds me of TV show subs too where anything that is an adaptation from a book people come in and just spend every day ranting about how shitty the show is versus the book. The obvious solution to me is to create two subs – one for the show and another for book readers to vent. Same could be done here – have a sub for people to talk about Niantic, the changes they’ve made, what they think about them. But it’s destroyed so much of what this sub could be in terms of just having fun.
This is honestly how I look at everyone who throws a complaint in EVERY SINGLE Pokémon go post. You can’t go through 3 posts in this sub without seeing someone complain or talk down on someone enjoying the game. I don’t understand why someone who hates a game, goes out of there way to make everyone else’s experience worse.
