Niantic reverses unintended Pokémon Go spawn boostand the community is not happy

What originally seemed like a gift to Pokémon Go players disappeared almost as soon as it was added to the game, creating yet another round of controversy shrouding the mobile title.

Following an unexpected change to Pokémon Go that greatly increased the spawn radius of Pokémon near the player, Niantic pushed an update today to revert the change back to the standard spawn radius. In a statement posted to Twitter, the developer explained what exactly caused this issue, while also expressing interest in player feedback on Pokémon spawns for possible changes in the future.
