Pokémon GO denounces a group of players for using cheats
Niantic has filed a lawsuit against Global ++, a hacker association that distributes modified versions of Pokémon GO to give players an advantage. According to the developer, this group is monetizing this project, selling subscriptions to these apps for massive profits As the lawsuit states: "defendants' projects harm the integrity of the legitimate player experience, diminishing enthusiasm for Niantic games.They also damage Niantic's reputation and goodwill, interfering with its business.”
Although Global++ has not responded directly to the accusations, it has done so indirectly. The group has closed its website "indefinitely" to comply with its legal obligations. In addition, he has thanked the entire community for the good times. Some of the members of Global++ include its leader Ryan Hunt and YouTube promoter Alen Hundur. There are also 20 anonymous members who could not be identified so far.
The truth is that Global ++ was not only harming Pokémon Go, other titles that were also seeing their future endangered were Ingress or Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Of the latter, a version called Poter ++ was even released before the full game was released worldwide after being tested in Australia.We imagine that the closure of the Global ++ website has been a relief for Niantic, although we do not know what will happen and if in the end these modified apps will be available elsewhere.
In any case, it is not the latest news that we have heard from the developer in recent days. Niantic also recently announced that it will stop supporting Pokémon Go on the Apple Watch starting July 1. Thus, players will no longer be able to connect their account via their smartwatch. This end of support is closely related to Adventure Sync, a tool that gives the Possibility of linking the title with the iOS He alth application.
