Mr. Steranka, you truly seem a good dude that would be to have a drink with & chat with for a while. I appreciate your enthusiasm for the game and interactions with the community.

But this is an astounding misinterpretation of data and community desires. Where was this supposed player groundswell asking for a reversion back to 3 hours? I'm sorry, but I find that incredibly hard to believe.

And yes, of course many players didn't play 6 full hours. We played for 2-4 during the window available to us. Which we will miss terribly.

6 hours allowed for players to squeeze in time for digital monster hunting around their other activities... around our actual LIVES. Many of us were playing for 2-4 hours sometime during that 6-hour time block and then carrying on with our lives with the rest of the time. 1/5 Image Some played from 11-2, some from 2-5, some from like 11-12 and then again from 3-5, depending on their availability. Niantic seems to want us to plan our day around Community Day and other events most every weekend. 2/5
