and Niantic&#8217;s own principles of encouraging players to get outside and explore the world together.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The world has largely moved back outdoors and Remote Raid passes have come to dominate the overall experience of playing in a way we never intended. It&#8217;s become essentially a shortcut to playing the game. We&#8217;ve seen an imbalance because the current price of Remote Raid passes is matched to the Premium Battle Pass which is distorting the game economy, and making the game unsustainable in the long term.&#8221;<em><br \/><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/pokemon\/related-articles:147376,147377 @ 2023-04-05T03:22:33+01:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>What are your own thoughts about all of this?
