Game is dying (or dead)
for some, it may ended when it was announced redacted would be gone by sept 30
others, on oct 1
for now, I feel like theyre doing it on purpose lol
of all the delays they had redacted turned off on time?
a bug on links? but let's not fix that. lets put vibrations instead.
push notifications gone? why not stop the alerts as well?
OPR complains from pokemonhub, let's have them take over, better yet let them have the credit on the wafer login page.
since it's all better for pogo, manageable complaints and larger gains. and better part u can wander the world while just at home.
edit: Niantic low-key killing the one that started it all

I've been wondering if the opposite is true: rather than killing the one that started it all, Niantic is trying to unleash it.
When POI maintenance was only handled by ingress players, and ingress players were on a platform optimized for simplicity, the game was constrained. That simplicity is exactly what many players liked about redacted, but we know why it had to go away. Since ingress had to change, Niantic could have just killed it, but it seems like they invested in it to make it its own thing.
Paying for anomalies, OPR turning into Wayfarer, new clients and back ends, new/different gameplay content (e.g., tesselation and AMAs) seem to point to wanting ingress to stand on its own with its own IP rather than the gamejust existing as a means to an end (maintaining assets for Niantic).
Maybe it'll work and be awesome, maybe the game will just be different, maybe it will fall, but it seems like they are trying to not only keep it alive, but also make it an independent asset not tied to any essential operation within Niantic.
Man, y’r salty.
The wayfarer login page cycles through different background images each day... If you check the code...currently there are a few Pokemon ones, one Harry Potter one, two or three enlightened ones, and two resistance ones.
@NianticBrian So... Anyone going to "scale up the severs"? Or... Is this where hundreds of agents will just be saying... "told you so" and "we asked you if you were going to be ready for this"?
So? With the size of our player base, we’re lucky to get any airtime at all.
Indeed it does cycle through images. It took me a while to realize that this thing was a portal superimposed on a sculpture and not some weird xm object or other lore item that's part of the portal itself...
