Now that millions of people across the world are addicted to Pokemon GO, players need access to their Pokemon 24/7. And when they are denied, they sure aren’t shy about expressing their feelings.
Earlier today, Pokemon GO servers went down for a few hours. The initial outage was attributed to the game being released to 26 new countries. Then there were reports that the servers were down in response to a hacker attack.
Servers seems to be back up and running now, as players report that they have been able to log in. However, during those dreadful hours when the game wasn’t available, people were feeling all types of ways.
