>>43415572>the game is designed to encourage itI mean, no? I've never looked at the shop and thought 'damn if only I paid for my ingame currency instead of playing the game', I just plan my next route past a gym I can use. GO is possibly the only game I play where the pay real bucks options are hidden way down the bottom of everything two menus in instead of paraded at the top of every home screen and shop menu, and they've never had a 'you can get shop items discounted by using bought currency once a day' like most games have now.
The paid event tickets they tried last year were too much, the recent $1 one was more reasonable and made very little difference to accessibility, unlike the Regigas bullshit. I hope that the cheapo one sold enough to make them consider lowering the price of future raid based events given how much potential profit is in mass sales of a cheap digital product, but I'm saying that as someone who didn't buy it.
Anyway, reminder to get remote raid passes for 1 coin.
