Niantic apologizes for technical issues at Pokémon Go Fest in Chicago

Niantic Labs apologized for the technical problems that players had at Pokémon Go Fest in Chicago on Saturday, and it will offer a full refund to those who attended.

As the company held a celebration event for the launch of its legendary Pokémon in the popular mobile game, a large number of players attending the event couldn’t play. It shows that staging live events for a lot of people in a single place isn’t that easy to do.
