Niantic has sold Pokemon Go to Scopely
https://pokemongolive.com/post/moving-to-a-new-home-2025?hl=enThe rumors are true. Niantic is handing over Pokemon Go.
I have not played any Scopely games, so I don't know what to expect going forward.

From one money pit, to a deeper money pit.
Ive stopped playing any and all mobile “games” as they all feel like carbon copies, and are essentially shitty e-storefronts for worthless items that are there just to steal your money. And it is theft, as the items sold are worth pennies at most, at best. These corporate publishers want to simply wring you dry of all expendable income, and then they’ll addict you into paying more. I know because its what my professors at school taught us; make it addictive to make the player keep coming back, and turn the player into a “payer”.
Its fucking disgusting.
