They lied about 2002 error

Yes and no. Yes, your home connectivity can cause error 2002, but even if you have the perfect Network you will still get 2002 randomly after 15 minutes. Why are we getting kicked off? there are tons of variables why, but it is something the dev team can control and I'm willing to bet they have placed this in order to protect the servers from causing a massive crash. Should Yoshi-P and the dev team be more clear about this? YES, I heavily criticized them for this. It's more likely that Network Engineer Team Lead or manager told Yoshi-P to blame it on our network connections to cover up the fact it's being done to protect the servers. props to u/Pitiful-Marzipan- for his research regarding this.

You're just white knighting SE

Well I am a paladin main, but that's beside the point. A lot of peeps are frustrated and they want to vent their frustrations and are erroneously blaming SE for something they have no control over. The Pandemic is still a thing affecting thousands of products, Yoshi-P, and the dev team has been very vocal about this issue they didn't expect their game to become this popular in such a short time, to be honest, no one did and they have been very upfront about the server situation.


Tl;dr it's a shitty situation right now but this for once this isn't entirely SE fault.
