Why would I care if the used computer generated art?
People care because it means that Niantic did not pay an artist to create the image.
So, this is the direction we're headed. Why is it news when a company does it?
I personally care because it means destroying the livelihoods of artists in exchange for shitty nonsensical bootlegs of art. Making it bad press is really the only recourse we have against this.
