Interesting controversy in Pokemon Go:
The game has been out for ten years and is celebrating its tenth anniversary. To celebrate, they had a lavish event in Times Square last night, where the game took over all the screens and participants could battle the legendary Pokemon Mewtwo in the game. This echoed a cinematic trailer released with the game’s launch in 2016 that had never previously been possible in the actual game.
BUT, the event was restricted to a group of 2000 streamers, “community ambassadors” and invited guests who were given tickets that activated the event in their game. If you showed up to Times Square without an invitation, there was nothing there.
The Mewtwo the special influencers got had perfect stats and a special background that nobody else can get. This weekend, Mega Mewtwo is releasing worldwide, and Niantic/Scopely, the publisher of the game, expected the millions of players to watch a livestream where a bunch of Twitch streamers attended a spectacular party everyone else was not invited to and were gifted powerful in-game characters, and then they expect all those players to pay money this weekend to buy raid passes to hunt for a perfect Mewtwo.
The community is furious. If Niantic/Scopely had expected this to be received positively, they radically miscalculated. Their mistake, which a lot of companies make, is that they believed people like influencers, and enjoy watching influencers receive free stuff as they promote products.
In fact, most people HATE influencers, and they especially hate it when these leeches get free stuff.
Irasutoya, Japan's popular free clip art library, has released its latest creation in honor of the United States President, Donald Trump. It's a clever play on TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) and the Japanese word タコ for octopus, which also means "idiot."
