Of all the heavy-handed filtering in these forums, it’s rather astonishing that users are still allowed to impersonate staff by putting “Niantic” into their names.
Yes? Who said that? The same Person that said there will be a worldwide release of Catan? The same Person that said there will be a worldwide release of Transformers: Heavy Metal?
Recently I saw many people in Twitter wrote another letter to Niantic, mainly complaining about lack of communication and overpriced box sets. Well, I was about to add that situation is not much different in Wayfarer.., until I realize that @NianticWayfarer at Twitter hasn't been active since last month (after Danbocat left, of course).
Just, what would happen to Wayfarer (or at least this forum/Twitter acc)? After Danbocat left and Giffard is missing, and we're left with several new mods that didn't even introduce themshelves, yet @NianticTintino still didn't give any statement on current state of Wayfarer?
I think we have a (Light)ship without a captain at the helm. There’s been no job advertised for Danbocat’s previous role from what I have seen and we know the Wayfarer team is small.
Which seems odd when it’s what the other games rely on for Wayspots etc.
Actually a shame. DanBoCat was the first Niantic staff member to ever reply to a topic with a personalized, self written answer rather than canned responses. Thinking back.... Maybe that's why he was let go 😂
May you find a company that respects you and values your work.
It may be of interest to anyone who has commented in this thread that the folks who do a podcast @BlameJamal-ING and @LachlanF-ING are doing an episode with @NianticDanbocat on. It’ll be out Soon™️ (also known as “Christmas”).
It's unlikely that Niantic is going to comment on a personnel matter. The most you could possibly expect to get out of them is that they were part of a RIF, and even that seems unlikely.

Did you mean or need to tag all the Niantic folks?

I noticed that @NianticOren is brand new today actually. Welcome!
Yeesh. What a thread to tag someone in for the first time.
Maybe someone didn't mention this, but well.

Odd???
well maybe elsewhere but surely this is typical for Niantic?

will there be a transcript? i could barely understand what Danbocat said in the trailer.
Thanks for the info.
Christmas party time.
I’m sure someone (probably me, if no-one else) will summarise in this thread.
thank you. maybe it was also the music in the background. seems i am not the only one.
Related question on the AMA.

There’s now a podcast up with Danbocat on. Not sure if she will talk about her departure but may be some interesting points.
