Pokemon GO developers are confused by threatening from differences in play style. Passing by a problem

In the Pokémon GO , a certain problem started, and the staff developed to the criticism of users. It is said that the staff has received a threatening email. ROAMER and others report.

In Pokémon GO, Zora and Forward have recently been officially implemented. Zora is the first Pokémon that appeared in Pokémon Black White. Zora in Pokémon GO is a specification that turns into a partner Pokémon and appears in the field. For example, if Fushigidane is a partner Pokémon, it will appear as Fushigidane. After catching, the transformation is solved and turns into Zora.

The special specifications were disaster, and Zora was bugged. On October 29, the official Twitter account of this work operated reported on October 29 that there was a problem with Zora. For investigation in question, it announced that it would temporarily disable Bluetooth peripheral devices such as Pokémon GO Plus and Monster Ball Plus.

Pokémon GO Plus and Monster Ball Plus are useful devices that are useful for playing Pokémon GO. Vibration when approaching Pokémon and Poke stop. Pokémon captures and items can be performed without operating the app with a smartph1. When aiming for more efficient play, it is a reliable peripheral device.

Many users reply to the official announcement that informs such peripheral devices. Many users are concerned about when the bug will be corrected and asks the operator. Peripherals play an important role in play for some users.

Kelsey Danger, a community manager of Pokémon GO, was interested in these users' movements. According to him, I personally commented that I don't think it's fun to play style using Pokémon GO PLUS and Monster Ball Plus. He says he likes to play Pokémon GO when he wants to play. I don't always go to Pokémon GO mode using a device, but play when I'm interested.

For example, a few days before this tweet, DANGER happened to discover a tiger king's mural when he played Pokémon GO and turned his Pokémon in the urban area of Pittsburgh. He seemed to have a chance to notice the scenery of a city that he couldn't usually find. From his remarks, the intentions such as If you play with peripheral devices, you will not be able to enjoy such discoveries will be seen and hidden.

DANGER's series of tweets caused a problem. In fact, at the beginning of a series of tweets, he stated INTERESTING for the user reaction that lamented the disabling peripheral devices. He may have been a purely interesting statement that his play style is different from the users. However, this seems to have been captured by provocation for users.

DANGER supplemented that he did not immediately insult the users following the tweet. However, for some users who are resentful of peripheral devices, his series of tweets has been poured into fire. The official peripheral device sold for about $50 was disabled, and he was doubted by the community manager, saying that he did not like its peripheral devices.

In response to such criticism, DANGER responded. He understands the criticism of users who can no longer use peripheral devices, and apologize for pushing their play style on them. He continued to say that some users are angry at their remarks.

However, some users did not have any contradictions. Later, DANGER had begun to receive an email including Violent Threats. In response to this, he deleted the tweet that said the Interesting mentioned earlier. He commented that the anger of the user was caused by his mistakes. He was willing to dialogue with users who hit harsh opinions, but decided that he had reached a level that could not be overlooked.

User community has shown anger in a serious threatening email to DANGER. Overseas bulletin board Reddit users mention similar cases in the past. He pointed out that Liz George, once a senior marketing manager of the film, was criticized and was driven to temporarily deleted his Twitter account. George has retired from Ni antic about a month later.

Thread contributors emphasize that DANGER and George are just a window with the user community, not directly determined in the coordination policy of Pokémon GO and corrections. He called on users to learn mistakes from past cases. The thread has agreed with the contributors and has many opinions that strongly criticize threats. Some users were seeking legal measures for threatening email senders. Regarding harassment and intimidation to the staff, there are some movements that are issued in the user community.

In other games, there have been cases in which users' intimidation has reduced interaction between developers and communities. Harassment, which is dissatisfied with the game, is one of the problems that bother developers (related article 1, related article 2). In the development of long-term operating games, raw voices from users are valuable. On the other hand, the staff who is the window may be involved in troubles with users or exposed to intense attacks. Development and operators will need to protect staff from some aggressive users in the future.

The bug of Zora, which started this act, has been revised. Pokémon GO Plus and Monster Ball Plus can be used without any problems.
