Pokemon GO Fest...more like Pokemon GO Mess, am I right?! Dear lord, I feel terrible writing that.
We all know that Pokemon GO Fest didn't go as planned, as people couldn't even get into their games to play. Niantic is quite embarrassed by the situation, and has said so multiple times. Now even other companies are coming out to talk about the issue.
Verizon wants everyone to know that the problems weren't their fault at all. Niantic and Verizon worked together on the event, but Verizon had no part in the problems.
"This was not a Verizon issue. ...even when attendees were experiencing issues accessing the game itself, other applications like YouTube worked just fine — which indicated the issues were outside of Verizon's control, like an issue with the game's server itself."
I know Verizon is seen as a big, evil corporation, but I do believe what they're saying. I think the blame falls squared on Niantic for this snafu.
