(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.
I missed “Go” and thought they meant Game Freak and I was quite shocked lol
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?
Can’t wait for the one free pokestop spin a day and one free Pokémon in a gym a day. Better hope multiple Pokémon don’t come home at once, you’ll be charged to let them come back and still won’t get any extra coins for it. Coins from gym are put into escrow until your watch ten ads.

Are they buying it for the business opportunity or the massive amounts of geolocation data to assist in kidnapping and murdering women and dissidents around the world?
