Could Niantic be killing its own success with Pokemon Go?
The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
Pokémon GO fans are waking up on Wednesday morning a little more nervous. Niantic, the developers of the augmented reality game, has decided to sell the game
You can't play Pokemon Go in China, but I needed a digital souvenir.
Winter weather will kill it for some.
* If it does fizzle out it doesn't effect Nintendo at all really, and they planned for that, by looking at mobile gaming trends and you realize most of them have their key popularity time and then fizzle off.
Mobile games don't have substance value and staying power like dedicated handheld,console & PC games do.
* All this does for Nintendo is get people into their IPs, which they then buy the console or handheld for.
* Why does Disptaches want to Kill everything?
How sickly perverted are they?
This is like their 20th "kill" article in the past year.
They are weird in the head.
