He Who Posts Well
Superstar
I am surprised so many people showed up. I didn't know people were still playing like that. The place was packed but the event was a disaster all around. Props to the people hosting the event for not losing their cool when people started yelling. Someone even threw a water bottle at the stage.
Niantic should have made sure everything was good to go and performed the necessary stress tests beforehand. They ended up issuing refunds and giving players $100 in Pokecoins.
