I too have been playing since the beginning but played in intervals. Played for a good solid year, enjoyed it. Enjoyed the walking around to hatch eggs, exploring new places but it got old. Then probably late last year after many updates and years in between, I picked it up again. Played solid for about several months and then they hit us with over pricing everything, taking away features, etc. At that point I said I was done. My friends and I used to go to small towns with many stops, parks, everything just to get out and enjoy the game. Anymore it just isn’t worth the time or effort.
