Price increases by Niantic for Unite, Pokemon GO, and other services
Microtransactions in games like Pokemon GO on their mobile shops may cost more in some areas, according to recent announcements from Apple and Google.
The online social community for the game has been stirred up by this.
More specifically, on the different Reddit posts centered on these Pokémon Mobile games, gamers have voiced their disappointment with these impending changes.
Although it could appear that this is being done to demand more money from the player base for these games, the reasoning behind it may be more nuanced.
On September 19, 2022, Apple released a statement about these price increases.
It was disclosed that the cost and taxes for in-app and in-app purchases would eventually be raised.
Of course, since they are iOS mobile games, Pokemon Go and Pokemon Unite will be impacted by this move.
While Pokemon Go players already find this to be disappointing news,
Players of Pokémon Unite are now uncertain as to whether this price change would affect all players in these locations.
