Pokémon Go continues to be a success, however, it has its problems like any other game. The title, released in the summer of 2016, still has a lot of users. Now it's time for a change that would allow owners to remove pesky PokeStops or Gyms. Let's put ourselves in a situation, what is the problem?
When Pokémon Go launched the game, thousands of people took to the streets in search of gyms and pokéstops, or even some Pokémon rare.However, many of these were on private property, which was invaded if the lure was strong enough to do so. This all ended in a large class action lawsuit in August of that same year, which has been in court for some time.
A form will allow you to remove annoying points of interest from Pokémon Go
After all that time in court, this document already records the possible solution. The proposal presented in court states that Niantic must enable a form so that users can eliminate annoying pokéstops and gyms that are less than 40 meters from their home single family. Niantic assures that it will collect all the proposals and eliminate them in less than 15 days, storing them in a database so that no more annoying points can be created in those same places.
But not only owners will be able to do so, but also public places that are not accessible at a certain time. The idea is that Pokémon Go trainers also do not enter public property when they are closed. On top of that, Pokemon Go will also display a new in-game banner that will invite users to be more respectful of the real world.
It is possible that all the participants in this great class action will receive a thousand dollars for the problems caused and impose an fine of 8 million to Niantic , company that owns the game. At the moment this agreement has not been signed but everything seems to be the way forward, at least in the United States of America. In Spain it is possible that this right is not yet included, but the laws of the European Union are much stricter in this regard. And luckily there were no trainer battles at that time, it could have been even worse…
