Following the recent acquisition of Pokémon Go developer Niantic by Scopely, the creators behind Monopoly Go, fans have expressed concerns ranging from increased ads to personal data privacy. However, a recent interview with Michael Steranka, a product director at Pokémon Go, featured on Polygon, aims to alleviate these worries.
In the interview, Steranka praises Scopely and assures that both companies share similar values and goals. He confidently stated that intrusive ads would not be introduced into Pokémon Go under Scopely's ownership. Addressing privacy concerns head-on, Steranka made it clear that Niantic would never share or sell player data to third parties. He concluded by emphasizing that the transition to working with Scopely would have minimal impact on Niantic's operations.
If it ain't broke...While some might anticipate a degree of corporate influence, I personally believe Scopely will not heavily alter the successful operations of Pokémon Go. The game has proven its success, and a more significant business move for Niantic appears to be the development of new AR applications through a dedicated spin-off team.
Steranka also highlighted the close involvement of The Pokémon Company in decision-making processes for Pokémon Go. This partnership suggests that any actions not aligned with The Pokémon Company's standards would be unlikely both now and in the future.
With these reassurances, fans may feel more confident about returning to Pokémon Go. For those looking to enhance their experience, be sure to check out our regularly updated list of promo codes for free boosts.
