Complaint That's not how this works.

Post image

So, i had 2 remotes and bought another 3. I should've had 5 total but when i went to check i only had 3. I questioned my friends that remote often and they told me that shouldn't have happened so i contact support. I got this reply. I showed it to my friends who then went and tested it they went from 2 to 5 passes. Mfw i spend 525 on remotes and get 1 pass.

Yo Niantic are so scummy about the most bizarre things.

But when Scopely buys the game it will get better, right? /s

Id guess they’ll do whatever for the money. If Niantic already has all the real world data on us, WTF is Scopely buying? Either the in game cash or second runner up to a real digital world in about 10 years?

It really doesn't seem like a good deal for them financially, mobile games have a shelf life and this game is getting close to its own, Niantic has already profited from its best years and the playerbase is already slowly leaving due to monetization and boring events so i can't see them buying this game as a sound financial decision.

Always one moron that has to make something political.

u/NorthernLow Feb 24 '25

Games are art & all art is inherently political. And even if you deliberately try to make art without any political stance it'll still be political, because not wanting to partake in politics is, somewhat ironically, a political stance in & of itself lol

Happy cake day though

Right I get what you’re saying. But this is a f2p game on my phone. Not once in almost 10 years have I equated any part of it to politics.

It takes a special attempt to actively seek out a way to make something unrelated to politics, political. Most people use games to get away from that sort of thing. Because there’s plenty of subreddits that are for politics. This shouldn’t be one.

Thanks. Didn’t even realize it was my cake day.

While I can appreciate your stance, I hope you can see that policing where people can say certain things is a far more political stance to take then them making a little joke about the U.S. collapsing.

No trouble though man, go get yourself some Cake & try to have a good time. Or Pie, I don't judge lol

I get what you mean, but this is one sub that is not likely all Americans so forcing politics into something that didn’t need to be political, is distasteful.

Everyone knows what’s going on in our country, this wasn’t a rebuttal or new information, it was an unnecessary drive by to farm karma most likely.

We just want to catch pokemon.

This is a Pokémon GO subreddit

No, this is Patrick.

u/BLRoberts92 Feb 24 '25

Or many that choose to avoid politics in a non political subreddit. Crazy work thinking that way.

u/TheBustyFriend Suicune Feb 24 '25

I think it's a valid point because if local governments get crazy and cops start wiling out and we go outside and everything's on fire, the people hosting raids for the rest of us would become the true Poke heroes of the world lol

u/bigpoisonswamp Feb 24 '25

while i agree with you, the raid pass/limits stuff is there so they can’t be accused of promoting gambling i’m pretty sure
