Crazy to think this game had no marketting so far.Servers are already going down, do they really need to promote the game on their sites at this point?
This may just kill the goodwill people had with this game if they don't fix it soon.
I only skimmed that, but is that speculative article assuming that Niantic gets none of the revenue? Also, the three companies mentioned didn't invest in "Pokémon GO," technically, they invested in Niantic. The revenue split for the game itself is bound to be a different agreement.
The App works for me now
Then why is Nintendo acting like this doesn't exist? Last week when I checked, Nintendo.com didn't have even the smallest nod to this game's existence.

A hacking group has claimed responsbility for taking down the Pokemon Go servers using a DDOS attack.
A hacking collective known as PoodleCorp announced on Twitter it was behind the action, but this claim is yet to be verified.

Yeah, I'm in France and had an US iTunes account to download it when it was released there but it'd be nice to not have to switch account to update the game.Everyone in Canada is playing anyways
And if you have an iPhone then that's your fault
Still no France, now I'm sad

Yup server was up briefly but went down again :x
Has to be the dumbest thing ever to launch in 26 more countries on a Saturday(busiest day of the week for people wanting to play). That's just a horrible idea when your servers couldn't hold up before.

Trainers! We have been working to fix the #PokemonGO server issues. Thank you for your patience. We'll post an update soon.

Doesnt Nintendo own 32% of Pokemon Company? And do we know how much stocks Google and Nintendo has in Niantic? If Google takes 30% like Apple does from sales done through the game, i wouldnt be surprised if Google makes the most money on this.Nintendo actually owns and good chunk if not most of the IP's on the pokemon themselves, of the 3 partners they have the biggest stake overall when you get into the nitty gritty of it.
Does a company make money from stock price increase?Jesus christ why is this in every thread, Nintendo are the majority owners of Pokémon so unless you think niantic stole from Nintendo your logic is pretty dumb. Also Nintendo helped out and their stock has risen nearly 100% since the game released. Surely you can't be so clueless.
waiting for the Brazil launch, although I'm sure the first few days here will be digital hell for the servers.
I think bigger markets like France, Canada and Japan will come once they really sort their server issues. There is no way they would be able to handle the onslaught from those regions with their current capacity.

Hdy guys do you remember when Pokemon was created in Japan and owned by a Japanese company? Neither does Nintendo
Do you also have problems? I have not been able to log in since WednesdayAnd still no Mexico :'( Screw this.
Thanks, thats what i thought. Stocks themself are indeed "worthless" unless they are being sold. Just curious if increase value of a company in terms of stock has any benefits for the company itself.No.
If you own a stock, and it increase in value, you dont make any money from it, unless you sell it.
And still no Mexico :'( Screw this.
We just got Miitomo last month, 3 months after the USYEAH! Why isn't Mexico in that list yet?
Fucking seriously. Atlantis is going to have an official PokemonGo release before we do.Huh CANADA!? Hello!?
Seems servers are back!
I hope they won't crash again.
still down
We don't exist to most people.Huh CANADA!? Hello!?
Nintendo helped out as much as I helped out, and their stock rose because investors don't realize that they didn't make it either.
LMAO you will
Did they put a server cap limit ?
Because the pic tell the user to come back later because server is full
