>Niantic makes nearly $0 from anything players give them money for.

I am under NDA so all I can say is that publicly available data (sensortower or appanie for example) says Niantic has received literally billions of dollars from in-app purchases from players. This may or may not be correct but the amount is likely not “nearly $0”




Never underestimate how much people will spend on fancy hats (See Fortnight & Dota)


You don't really need insider info to know that they would obviously not be running a game this big if they made "no money".
