Pokemon Go players losing hope over \u201cpay-to-win\u201d event trend Niantic\/PixabayPokemon Go players are losing hope in the game after Niantic released three pay-to-win events within the first three weeks of the Mythical Wishes season. With the launch of Pokemon Go\u2019s Mythical Wishes season, fans were excited to check out what Niantic had in store for them. However, many began losing hope in the new season \u2014 as well as the game as a whole \u2014 as the company continues to announce pay-to-play events like the Keldeo Special Research tasks that Niantic recently sold for $7.99. Now, trainers have taken to the Pokemon Go subreddit to share their thoughts about the game. Pokemon Go players losing hope for future of game On December 13, a player on the Pokemon Go subreddit shared their thoughts about the recent pay-to-win events. \u201cThree weeks of this new season, three Pay to Win -ticket events. Losing hope over here,\u201d they said. The attached image shows the Keldeo Special Research, Hoenn Mega Raid Day, and Mega Glalie paid tickets. With over 2,200 upvotes, it\u2019s clear that the community isn\u2019t happy about the recent focus on paid events. \u201cSeriously, we\u2019ve had more paid event tickets this season than any others, and it\u2019s only been 3 weeks,\u201d one user replied. Another player said: \u201cThey probably saw that their revenue was down in comparison to last year (due to their own terrible updates of course) & decided to make some more paid events to make up some of the lost revenue.\u201d A third user commented: \u201cAt least this time I have zero FOMO in doing it because what the hell are those benefits for the newest task? Also, I really don\u2019t get why they hide so much research behind a paywall when any pay-to-win model shortens the result.\u201d Niantic hasn\u2019t responded to the recent distaste towards the pay-to-win trend, but it\u2019ll be interesting to see their player numbers in the future as more users potentially decide to quit the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
