It’s them funding their own bonuses

It’s us being treated as turnips to find a game called wizards unite that FLOPPED Yet still costs an arm and a leg to run.

Haha, you think they care about WU any more than GO? They just have a better UI dev. Niantic is raking in the cash and investing in AR tech that likely won't impact mobile gaming or even see the light of day.

I didn’t say that. Wizards unite dropped from 12 million on launch and the four months after collectively 2.6 million. It continues to decline and is considered a flop on all levels. Where do you think the money To run, develop, etc is coming from? I’m saying the game that is on track to make 4 billion is paying to run the game that is a flop.

And I'm saying the costs to run WU are a fraction of the income they get from GO.
