The real answer here is that Niantic doesn’t care about what the players want, and need them out in the real world to help build their location data up for whatever their big project is. That became obvious when Niantic tried to incentivize players to do real-life 3D Scans of Pokestops/Gyms a few years ago. They can’t…

(Pulls out a list) Anyone know the comment length limit around here?

I’m sort of curious about the mentality where you know a payload is contested, and you just stand around instead of going and finding the enemy. TF2 had a class the could become PERMENANTLY INVISIBLE and people still managed to resolve this problem.

They waited 2 seasons before nerfing Surfer, which is arguably more oppressive than Zabu. As someone who works in the _insanely_ data and metric driven world of Games As A Service I can vouch for the reasoning for the delay on nerfing Zabu. Lots of games these days wait for clear data before they make big adjustments.

I am nervous for this comments section.

I dunno, this seems more like Minesweeper to me?

saves me a 50 minute watch..thanks

Wata is inflating prices by several thousands of dollars and are driving up bids for these inflated prices by placing fake bids.

There doesn’t have to be a good guy for someone to be the bad guy.

All those links and not one of them goes directly to a page to buy one.

I don’t doubt what you say, but it really doesn’t explain the apartment complex. No employee of such an organization should ever be allowed to take bags home. Period. And you can’t have you’re employee’s sending texts with things like ‘Imma’ in them either. Really bad look there.

I work for United. We use a third party (think Uber type, American also uses the same service in DC apparently) to deliver baggage if it gets lost. It’s supposed to be a service to the customer, but seems like they got the wrong bags delivered to the wrong space. Doesn’t seem like anything more nefarious then someone…

I would genuinely love to hear Elon try to explain how a swastika is an incitement to violence. While not implicating the tens of thousands of neo-nazis on his platform using all sorts of nazi symbols and language championing his legalization of free speech.

People largely ignore the facts in any legal move Nintendo makes. Remove the game and let’s do a litmus test....without Smash, would SWT go on (let’s say they played Brawlhalla)? No? Oh, so it means they do need the Nintendo IP and associated visibility? So they are trying to profit from Nintendo’s IP without…

actually that’s pretty debatable. it really comes down to the license agreement in place on the software at purchase and whether those licenses are even valid at this point.

The SWT organizer’s highly unprofessional statements aren’t doing them any favors either. You don’t go out accusing a third party evidence-free of sabotaging your chances if you’re trying to cultivate an image of innocence.

At least this tournament wasn’t shut down due to a massive sex abuse scandal. 

They didn’t ban him for shits and giggles, they got receipts and then some.
