It is now officially a trademark move for developer Niantic. Last month Pokémon Go players were accidentally allowed to enter the Kanto Tour event for free. To compensate, Niantic announced it would be a special bonus event for those who paid. That started today and guess what: they let in people who hadn’t paid.
During the holiday of February a Pokemon25th anniversary, Pokémon Go presented a special event quite expensive. What thelebrating the original homeland of monsters, the Kanto region, they charged $ 12 great to play. So when people found out they could join without buying a ticket, others became dissatisfied.
Niantic reacted quickly with an apology and announced that it would organize a special chain of bonus searches to compose it. This started yesterday in Australia and New Zealand, and with perfect screenplays …as Eurogamer rEPORTS-was available shortly to people who had not paid.
You have to think that everyone who was responsible for starting the event was sitting at a computer with 80 different notes pasted around the monitor and desk, saying, “DON’T MAKE IT OPEN FOR EVERYONE,” while different colleagues and bosses he walks around the door to say, “Remember, don’t open it to everyone!” Then, when the time came, they just made pieces.
This is not exactly unprecedented. Only last year did Niantic make a similar series of fall plates after that year’s GO Fest, when technical problems it meant that the rotating distribution of the Pokémon that gave rise did not work properly. To apologize, they organized a makeup event, during which … the technical problems meant that many players could not participate correctly. Incredible, they organized a makeup event for that make-up event, though limited to players from the Asia Pacific region.

Whether today’s disaster will mean the same remains to be seen – the issue was resolved before the launch of the event spread beyond Australia. For now, Niantic – usually very fast to deal with mistakes Twitter“He didn’t admit the problem, even though he was only behind.” apologizing because yesterday I was out on the news about the game.
