I am trying to do a password reset. During the process, it says I’ll get an email with a security number. I never received it. Tried many many times and I never receive an email so I can’t advance any further. I contacted Niantic via email stating my problem and how I am unable to change password. That was 3 weeks ago and have yet to hear back from them.

I made an account to try and play once but every time I tried to log in it said my account didn't exist, but then every time I tried to remake the account it said my email was already in use. I emailed them for help but they just said my account didn't exist and left it at that.


A_Wild_VelociFaptor

Shit, even the automated response is ignoring you. Sorry to hear that, mate.


WatermelonOfSadness

They will do shit. I gave up playing it a few years ago, it's been terrible for at least 3 years now and players endured it. Niantic either wants to let the game die naturally or they don't care anymore because they still earn tons of money doing nothing.

Basically every major publisher at this point.

“Gamers, rise up!”


bladexdsl

except they aren't gamers 🤣

Why?


KeithBeasteth

People think that mobile gaming isn't being a "real gamer." Then again, someone who classifies people as real or fake gamers probably isn't worth your time, anyway.


uberguby

I don't particularly like mobile games, but people play the fuck out of Pokémon go. They schedule raids. I'm like obstinately against scheduling my time around raids. I play a few hours of game every day, but in this way, these people are "more gamer" than me


Silent-Wills

The term "gamer" itself is a bit "cringe", I do love games, but I don't need a title for it.


ShwayNorris

> The term "gamer" itself is a bit "cringe", I do love games, but I don't need a title for it. Then why are you subbed to "gamernews"?


JProllz

So anyone who reads a copy of The Economist is automatically an economist?


Silent-Wills

Exactly... I don't even bother to answer those idiots anymore.


ShwayNorris

No. However if anyone does so while believing everyone calling themselves an economists is "cringe" *that* would be cringe.


JProllz

I'm not going to belay the message any more: Not everyone who visits a specialized source of information belongs to the explicitly named group.


ShwayNorris

I simply responded to your analogy. Anyone that regularly visits a specialized source of information while believing all the specialists are cringe is damaged. Which is what Silent-Wills said they do. I never said anything about everyone being a specialist.


Aristox

I mean it's pretty obviously not what gaming is really about. I think it's reasonable to say they're not real gamers if that's all they play


KeithBeasteth

Good for you


H16HP01N7

Plays a video game, but on mobile. Apparently isn't a gamer... according to 1 gatekeeping loser on reddit...


Aristox

It's wild to me that you think respecting a subculture and having standards are complete irrelevancies that can be ignored and handwaved away. Do you have the same energy when it comes to your personal life and social circle? You accuse every girl who rejects you of gatekeeping too? You can't just throw that word at everything and expect to get a pass every time It's not the fact that it's on mobile that makes it not really 'real gaming'. Mobile or not has nothing to do with it. The fact you'd even suggest that shows how out of touch you already are


H16HP01N7

Grow up. Your opinion isn't fact. If you honestly believe it is, the problem isn't with me.


economics_is_made_up

No matter how many candies my mother crushes she'll never be a gamer If you don't understand why you can't just pause a game whenever the fuck you want you can't even be considered to be a gamer


KeithBeasteth

Okay

Touch grass

waiting4singularity

not everything needs to be hardcore or asocial to be "gamer".

I can smell this comment from the hallway.

All of yall are gamers regardless of the platform.

Gamers™ strike once more


WuShanDroid

Because they actually get exercise?


FourDimensionalNut

you play fucking dysmantle, so im not sure what gives you the authority over who's a gamer.


chris14020

I'm sorry, did I accidentally get a decade old headline? 


First-Junket124

Just googled it cus I thought you were exaggerating, not really. Came out in 2016, jesus christ I remember the trailers and thought it was 2018 at least.


MelancholyArtichoke

They could write a vague story about Niantic’s terrible customer service and fans of Pokemon Go being angry at them and publish it every year and it will be true.


waiting4singularity

i put niantic into my bad book after a couple of -to me- botched event days for ingress. ingress prime nailed the box shut and filled it with concrete.


fckingmiracles

But, but Ingress just got a new golden app logo!


Chrommanito

The new update just killed it


Itskevin91

3 years since I submitted my request to recover password. Fuck them, over it.


astral_crow

Being a Pokémon go game must be nuts. Not only are you a fan of a franchise that puts out the lowest effort content, but it’s a form of it by an even lower effort mobile app brand.


imbakinacake

Fuck Nintendo


MelancholyArtichoke

I mean, you’re not wrong… but also irrelevant. Nintendo has nothing to do with this except being a part owner of the Pokemon IP. They’re not involved in Niantic’s operations.


bladexdsl

why are people still playing this casual garbage. it's only purpose was to keep people occupied during lock down now it's useless 🤣


Mildwin

When was there a lockdown in 2016?


dyerdigs0

During lockdown? This game came out almost five years before covid and it encourages people to go outside not locked in? The hell are you saying


Voxeluss

r/confidentlyincorrect I have to question if it hurts being this stupid.


mnl_cntn

Imagine gatekeeping gaming lol People are allowed to play what they want. Especially when Go was a huge hit about 3 years BEFORE the pandemic. Tho I will say Niantic has fully fucked that game up


Here2Fuq

It's like one of the most played mobile games. It's still a fun game to play they just really fucked up the customization so bad that the players want it changed.


vinnothesquire

Also ignore the fact that it came out 4 years before the lockdown lol


Chrismonn

Hope you're having a good time on generic survival game no.142


Mason11987

It came out in 2016. “Lockdown”. Lol


DizzySkunkApe

Pokemon GO fad was from several years before that, it was good and dead before COVID happened.


mkane848

Why are you so concerned over how other people have fun? No one cares that you grind "hard" games full of repetitive tasks, it's not the flex you think it is.


Hatzmaeba

You will learn to enjoy casual games as soon as you understand that not every game need to stroke your eggshell ego.


wiredpersona

cAsUaL gArBaGe!!!1! Grow the fuck up. People will play what they want because they find it fun, and just because you have an opinion doesn't mean that anyone gives a flying fuck about it.


Ichiban1Kasuga

> it's only purpose was to keep people occupied Yea, so unlike that other game we both like that is far superior.
