Niantic threw out 1 million Pokémon Go and Harry Potter players last year

The company which has Pokémon Go games, and Harry Potter flew out for 2020, 1 million players "stealing".

In a publication, Niantic informed its public that in 2020 banned 1 million players who stole in the game. It also revealed that for 2020, over 5 million players were issued bans across all augmented reality games. 20% of these players were denied entry.

More than 90% of the "fraudsters" stopped their "illegal" activities after the first warning, while 10% continued to cheat their teammates.

With most Niantic ARG game players stuck indoors due to the pandemic, most of the game cheats use mobile tools to mislead the to continue playing the games, pretending to be somewhere else.

The it may seem harmless, but with players able to access remote bases, gyms, etc., cheaters can dominate the game.

We read from Niantic's statement: "We do not talk much about our anti-fraud efforts, in part because we do not want to provide cheaters with information that can help them better understand our detection mechanisms. But rest assured that our reluctance to share is not due to a lack of effort or intention on our part. ”
