>Players at the first ever live >Pokémon Go event do not seem happy this morning, judging from reports of long lines and connectivity issues trickling in from Chicago.
>For a day, Pokémon Go Fest promised to be a festival full of rare monsters, special raids, medals, and eggs. But as first reported by Game Informer, the game is apparently “unplayable” for many at the event. For people who flew in from out of state, or even out of the country, these issues really suck—they paid a lot of money just to get connection errors. John Hanke, CEO of Niantic, got on a stage at the festival to address these concerns, only to get booed by the crowd. People seem pissed.
>Things are getting so bad, the crowd started chanting “We can’t play!” at the event organizers
>The line into the park is over a mile long and only a fraction of attendees made it into the event.
>The event has been so disastrous, many are reporting that Niantic is going to refund attendees for the cost of their tickets, in addition to $100 worth of PokeCoins.
Is Nintendo finally finished?

>Nintendo
Nintendo has nothing to do with this event and very little to do with Pokémon Go at all.

To be fair how is it Niantic's fault? It's the shitty cellular networks who do a crap job at providing a decent service. These are billion dollar companies who can't keep their network up.

The networks connecting people to Niantic's game servers were fine, it was the actual game servers that kept going down and not working

You know it's a mixture of both, anon. You gather all those people, all slogging connections and slowdown is inevitable. It happens all the time at concerts where everyone is trying to Snapchat their videos of the performance, or even New Year's Eve, when everyone is calling/texting each other everywhere.
