The recent acquisition of Pokémon Go developer Niantic by Scopely, the team behind Monopoly Go, has sparked a wave of concern among fans. Worries range from potential increases in ads to issues surrounding personal data privacy. However, a recent interview with Michael Steranka, a product director for Pokémon Go, published on Polygon, aims to alleviate these fears.
In the interview, Steranka praises Scopely and asserts a strong alignment between Niantic and the Monopoly Go developer's visions. He confidently stated that intrusive ads would not be introduced into Pokémon Go under Scopely's stewardship. Addressing privacy concerns head-on, Steranka was clear: Niantic would not share or sell player data to third parties. He concluded by emphasizing that the transition to working under Scopely would have minimal impact on Niantic's operations.
**If it ain't broke...** While it's understandable to anticipate some corporate influence, I personally believe that Scopely will not heavily alter Pokémon Go's operations. The game has been, and continues to be, highly successful. A more significant business focus might be Niantic's new spin-off team, which is dedicated to exploring further applications of AR technology.
Steranka also highlighted the close involvement of The Pokémon Company in Pokémon Go's decision-making process. This means that any action The Pokémon Company would not endorse is unlikely to be implemented now or in the future.
