Niantic is making some major organizational changes, including layoffs, game shutdowns, and the closure of its Los Angeles studio, according to an email from Niantic CEO John Hanke shared on the company’s website. The changes are designed to narrow the company’s focus, especially on developing and maintaining its cash cow, Pokémon Go.

I'm astonished by how long-lived PoGo has been. I gave up on it years ago after moving to a more rural place but now I'm back in a big city and I see people playing it every time I go to the park.
