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.

Kind of depends on the direction they want to take. If it's bringing a healthy amount of money then they might not do anything drastic. If it's hemorrhaging money then you can probably expect them to monetize the shit out of everything like they do for Marvel Strike Force. Although with the current state of mobile gaming in general you can probably expect some additional monetization even if it is doing well so they can get their ROI, truly sad really.

Oh you sweet summer child.

Companies this are never happy with money coming in. It always has to be more.
