My mom’s older brother passed away a few years ago. He was the quiet type. Lived in the same modest house for decades. Wore old flannels. Fixed his own car. No one ever thought of him as “well off.”
After he died, we learned he had been buying small life insurance policies over the years. Not for himself. For his nieces and nephews.
In his will, he left each of us a payout that would only be released for one thing: education, starting a business, or a down payment on a first home.
No speeches. No “remember me” letter. Just paperwork and signatures.
Turns out he had also been anonymously paying for one cousin’s trade school tuition when their parents couldn’t afford it. None of us knew.
He never posted about helping anyone. Never brought it up at dinner.
He just quietly positioned the next generation a few steps ahead.
Sometimes love looks like preparation no one sees coming.
I don't know who needs to hear this...
But if this Remote Raid update didn't effect you...that doesn't mean it didn't hurt someone else's experience...
Players just like YOU have:
- Night Shift jobs (they sleep during the day)
- Children to raise (Can't do Raid hours) <- Me
- No local raid groups
- No local Gyms
- Can only play at certain odd times of day <- Me
All of these made remote raiding accessible to us. You don't need to be a "Whale" or "Content Creator" for this to have a negative impact on your gaming experience.
This update will cascade farther that you can imagine and will effect everyone. #HearUsNiantic
