The game “Pokemon GO” has been launched for 6 years, and many players around the world have been popular so far, and they have traveled to every corner of the city to catch Pokemon. Recently, there is news that Pokemon will become extinct in Russia and Belarus, the reason for which started when the game developer Niantic announced that it would stop providing services to the two countries in order to resist their invasion of Ukraine.
The game developer Niantic said on Twitter that they will join the global front to boycott Russia and Belarus, hoping that the suffering of Ukraine can be resolved as soon as possible and the peace of the past can be restored. In addition, it was also revealed that games such as “Pokemon GO” and “Pikmin Bloom” will no longer be available for download in Russia and Belarus from now on, and the game will be suspended for a short period of time, which means that players located at this location will no longer be able to capture pets Elf too.
Earlier, Niantic also raised US$75,000 (RM314,000) internally, which were donated to 5 charities. In addition, the company itself will donate US$200,000 (RM838,000) to support the people and refugees in Ukraine. For this matter, the game industry has made concerted efforts to boycott it. Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox have also stopped selling consoles and games locally, game publishers have also suspended game sales, and even removed content involving Russia.
