"Unpopular opinion: Niantic's monetization strategies are very user friendly and fair"

#PokemonGO: Disclaimer: I do not work for Niantic or have any financial interest in Niantic.Im a recent grad currently working a low paying salaried position in my field, with not that much discretionary income. I still think that Niantic's monetization strategies are extremely fair to the user. I am tired of seeing people complaining that it is unfair and making very irrational statements. For example, people are complaning about a 99 cent paid research on Community day. What's 99 cent to you for a game you love playing? You probably spend 5 times that daily on a cup of coffee. But 99 cents to support a game you love is too much. The Genesect special research is still very fair. You get a lot of value for your money in the form of in game items and of course the encounter way before every one else. 8.99 is NOTHING for a game you love and support. Everyone complaining please put things in perspective . Supporting a game you love is good; complaining about spending a few dollars occasionally for a game you love is not. It's neither attractive nor reasonable. via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/39LK2Ct
