The broad consensus in the games press was that Pokemon Go is a great example of a strong gameplay loop overriding a massive technical failure.
Google's post is weird because they seem to think the game was a technical success. Google may have done great, it's impossible to tell from the outside, but the actual user experience is - or at least was when I played it - awful.
- kevincox 10y agoI think what this article is saying is that the game was relatively technically successful. It admits there were some problems but scaling your infrastructure to 50x what you expected is pretty amazing and most people would have expected more downtime for a similar situation. So not total-success, but very successful for the situation at hand. (disclaimer: I work at Google but not on GCP)
