  • For me, way too much being put behind a paywall. And not just big events. I get a real world event like the Go Fests should be, I even was going to go to one but Covid stopped it. But it got to the point where it seemed every in game event started to have a paywalled part to it. They started putting Pokemon behind them too and community days started to have them too. Was just too much.

    Pokémon Go. Those first few weeks and months were nothing like anyone could have imagined from a mobile game. People were outside and enjoying a game with other people. I remember seeing videos of people all running because a rare Pokemon had spawned somewhere and everyone was helping each other to get to it.

    The game itself was a simple affair anyone and everyone could play with no paywalls or subscriptions. Now it’s just paywalled events, Pokemon locked behind those events and it’s just a slog to play now.

    I’m glad I got to be a part of those early days.
