I am, indeed, quite angry towards Niantic. They made a very fun and addictive game, I'm not denying that. However, they behaved in a way that really makes it difficult for us, players, to support them. They weren't ready for their success, sure, but they could at least bring some explanations on why would they ship without a trade system, why are they struggling with traffic and downtime, why would they delay bug fixes for more than 3 weeks, why they decided to remove one of the key feature of the game, and why they decided to ban third party apps made by people trying to fix their mistakes (and not with a broken graph!). I remember terrific launches from Blizzard, but even with all issues combined from Wow, Diablo and Hearthstone, this is nothing compared to Pogo's. I care about this game, because it's different from the long trail of duplicates we've seen for a long time; but, I really wish, Niantic, as a company, was more mature. |
Why did a product ship without features? Not enough time to make them.
Why are their servers struggling? The game is significantly more popular than they expected.
