While Pokémon Go players have been reeling from the implementation of multiple new updates, including a controversial change to the game’s avatars, a development studio that worked on some of that content was hit with layoffs.
Seattle-based development studio Very Very Spaceship has worked on several projects but most notably notes its team has worked on “tentpole features” for Pokémon Go. Most recently, this included working on the updated character creation features that have been critically panned for weeks by the Pokémon Go community, with no real sign of changes coming despite the ever-growing community feedback.
