(Bloomberg) – Niantic Inc., the company behind the 2016 hit Pokémon Go, is in talks to sell its video-game business to Saudi Arabia-owned Scopely Inc., according to several people familiar with the discussions.
Representatives of Niantic and Scopely declined to comment. Scopely is owned by Savvy Games Group, a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
Oh fuck no.
They ruined Stumble Guys, don’t let them ruin Pokémon GO
That sounds bad. I like Pokemon Go. What kind of ruining are we talking about?
They turned Stumble Guys p2w, not to mention that when you open the game you get like 4 pop-ups for real life money stuff
There are emotes that can punch or kick a player to get them eliminated, and these are OP and locked behind the battle pass
Some people say Pokemon Go is already P2W. But as long as Community Days/shinies are still as available as they are with F2P, then I’ll stick around and even give them some of my Google Play money, lol
