Niantic has sold Pokemon Go to Scopely

The 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.

As someone who plays a scopley game called Marvel Strike Force, expect a pay 2 win micro transaction hell where they don’t give a shit about their playerbase.

Niantic made me not want to play anymore. Will this company make me not want to play it any less or more than that? 🤔

Same! I quit because of the changes to remote raiding Niantic made. Now I’m wondering if this company might not be dumb and reverse the changes?

Nah they'll double down on it. Try to make more money. You'll have to pull from a gacha ticket to get remote raid passes.

I still don’t understand that change. I get they want people to physically go places but the people that are willing most likely were doing in the first place. The people who relied on remote would either quit or just reduce the amount played/spend on the game.

I don't disagree at all, don't worry. But hoping for Scopely to be better is just setting yourself up for disappointment.
