I appreciate the acknowledgement for the issues with raids. However, the compensation just being more raids to spend more money on isn’t the compensation people deserve. Not to mention, compensation should be for EVERYONE, not just for some countries/certain regions. Everyone worldwide was affected by raid issues the whole weekend in some way. People deserve raid passes back, other premium items like lucky eggs, star pieces, incense, link charges etc. More importantly like some past compensations, give people special research with encounters with legendary Pokémon with guaranteed backgrounds from across the weekend, with a shiny rate of 1/10 perhaps. Or if you have an extended raid event, make the raids free to join and available everywhere. People didn’t just lose time raiding, they lost money because of the raid passes/link charges they lost, and other premium items on in the background like lucky eggs, star pieces etc. No one’s perfect, mistakes happen, things can go wrong and anyone thinking reasonably can understand that. While I understand with such a huge global event, issues can happen that are not anticipated and outside of your control, what you CAN control is the appropriate compensation for people, and not just to select groups but to everyone, especially with it being the 10 year anniversary too. #PokemonGO

@NianticHelp It’s impossible to raid mega mewtwo Y, I always get kicked out both locally and remotely

Trainers, we are investigating an issue affecting a small number of Raid Battles in Pokémon GO. We are working to resolve it as soon as possible and will provide an update once the issue has been resolved. #PokemonGO

@NianticHelp I keep getting kicked out by raid lobbies. I lost tickets and time, can you fix this please?

Interesting controversy in Pokemon Go: The game has been out for ten years and is celebrating its tenth anniversary. To celebrate, they had a lavish event in Times Square last night, where the game took over all the screens and participants could battle the legendary Pokemon Mewtwo in the game. This echoed a cinematic trailer released with the game’s launch in 2016 that had never previously been possible in the actual game. BUT, the event was restricted to a group of 2000 streamers, “community ambassadors” and invited guests who were given tickets that activated the event in their game. If you showed up to Times Square without an invitation, there was nothing there. The Mewtwo the special influencers got had perfect stats and a special background that nobody else can get. This weekend, Mega Mewtwo is releasing worldwide, and Niantic/Scopely, the publisher of the game, expected the millions of players to watch a livestream where a bunch of Twitch streamers attended a spectacular party everyone else was not invited to and were gifted powerful in-game characters, and then they expect all those players to pay money this weekend to buy raid passes to hunt for a perfect Mewtwo. The community is furious. If Niantic/Scopely had expected this to be received positively, they radically miscalculated. Their mistake, which a lot of companies make, is that they believed people like influencers, and enjoy watching influencers receive free stuff as they promote products. In fact, most people HATE influencers, and they especially hate it when these leeches get free stuff.

@PurpleFeebas After 150+ remote raids during local go fests, today I found this beauty 😍

Who has a Perfect 100% IVs Mewtwo? 🫣 For us that we don’t have one we will get it this weekend right?

First global GOFest remote raid and it’s a hundo! #pokemongo #gofest

@j0beats This event was a joke

Belgium's official national team account after destroying the USMNT 😅

Overturn this. 🧏‍♂️ #USABEL

FIFA + USMNT= Mafia! #FIFAWORLDCUP

Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup

FIFA announce the referee for tomorrows game between USA vs Belgium! #FIFAWorldCup

As of today, red cards mean NO suspension. Open season to everyone. Boots up, studs high and slide tackles like there is no tomorrow. #FIFAWorldCup

Just end the torunament now. This is disgraceful! #FIFAWorldCup

REMINDER: SONY WANTED TO SHUT DOWN THE PS3 STORE WHEN THE PS5 RELEASED. THEY REVERSED COURSE DUE TO PUSHBACK. THEY TRIED TO FORCE PC PLAYERS TO LINK PSN ACCOUNTS FOR HELDIVERS 2. THEY REVERSED COURSE DUE TO PUSHBACK #savephysicalgames #NOTBUYINGPS6

Even if a game vanishes from the GOG storefront, it never leaves your library. Exactly as digital ownership ought to be.
