Pay2win stuff is only frown upon in hardcore gaming community consisting of obese, know-it-all (thanks to Google and Wikipedia) neckbeards. They are not even main audience for those games. If it was up to them, companies like Supercell wouldn't be sold around for nine billion dollars nor will make billion dollar annual profit.

I'm talking about regular sheeple in here, not your fatso redditor who won't even bother leaving house to hunt pokemons when he can cheat the system with bluestacks/xposed and collect pokemons from his oversized couch.

Even casuls frown upon badly veiled, hardly worth pay2win stuff.
Some pay2win games are commercial success but they are those who balance the negative impact of pay2win with solid gameplay.
And by pay2win I meant basically every accessory stuff beside main game (includes DLC, skins, etc..).

Few frown upon but they still play. Game too good, addiction too strong, reasoning gets tossed out of the window... rest aren't smart enough to see it is just carrot and stick instead of well made game.

From what I've read, companies like coffee shops, fast food restaurants are already using Pokemon GO to 'lure' customers. They buy lure modules meant for regular gamers but I hear that Niantic is working on premium modules, for commercial use. As I said, this is just beginning. In next two years there will be flood of similar games, every major franchise will have one. Instead of running around, people will go to commercial venues to 'play' the game.

2/3 of the time when you catch a pokemon, the game freezes and you get nothing. Given that you need to catch like a gazillion to progress in the game due to the leveling system, this is a bit of a problem.

After this happens and you restart the game, more than half the time you then need to keep retrying ~5min to get past login errors.

1/3 of pokestops work as intended, 1/3 of the time you need to try them 5+ times before they work, 1/3 of the time they don't work at all.

Get a better phone.

Hardly. Pretty much all social/mobile games that make any money at all are the worst kind of pay2win garbage, and yet remain hugely popular. I asked or overheard these people in their 40s that never really played anything before candy crush and they either are completely clueless or simply don't care.

Don't care about me depends on the person. What I mean is that they don't care about playing bad games. Taste is an empty word if you know only a handful of games.
