Pokémon Go holds a makeup event to leave players without tickets, allows players without tickets

It is now officially a trademark for developer Niantic. Last month Pokémon Go players were accidentally allowed to enter the event with free Kanto Tour entry. To compensate, Niantic announced there would be an extra special event for those who had paid. It started today and guess what: they let in people who hadn’t paid.

During the February celebration of Pokémon25th anniversary, Pokémon Go presented a rather expensive special event. Whatcarving the original homeland of the monsters, the Kanto region, them loaded a strong $ 12 to play. So when people realized without buying a ticket, others became dissatisfied.

Niantic reacted quickly with apologies and announced that it would maintain a special chain of bonus missions to compensate for it. This started yesterday in Australia and New Zealand, and with a perfect script …how Eurogamer reports“It was like that.” briefly available to people who had not paid.

You have to think that whoever was in charge of lighting the event was sitting at the computer with 80 different sticky notes pasted on the monitor and counter that said, “DON’T DO IT OPEN TO EVERYONE,” while several colleagues and bosses they made theirs appear and headed for the door to say, “Remember, don’t open it to everyone!” Then, when the time came, they just broke up.

This is not exactly unprecedented. Just last year, Niantic performed a series of party-like farce pranks after that year’s GO Fest, when there are technical problems meant that the rotating cast of generation Pokémon was not working properly. To apologize, they held a makeup event during which … technical issues meant that many players were unable to participate properly. Incredibly, them held a makeup act for this makeup event, though restricted to players from the Asia-Pacific region.

It remains to be seen whether today’s calamity will mean the same thing: the problem was solved before the launch time of the event extended beyond Australia. So far, Niantic is usually very quick to confess mistakes Twitter—He has not acknowledged the problem, although it has only been updated apologizing to unveil the game’s news channel yesterday.
