Pokémon Go Director on Scopely: No Need for Fan Concerns

After the acquisition of Pokémon Go developer Niantic by Scopely, the creators of Monopoly Go, fans have expressed concerns over potential changes such as increased ads and data privacy issues. However, a recent interview with Pokémon Go product director Michael Steranka on Polygon aims to alleviate these fears.

In the interview, Steranka highlights the alignment between Niantic and Scopely, expressing confidence that intrusive ads will not be introduced into Pokémon Go. Crucially for players concerned about privacy, Steranka firmly stated that Niantic will not share or sell player data to third parties. He also reassured fans that the transition to working under Scopely would not significantly alter the operations at Niantic.

If it ain't broke...While there might be some corporate influence, it's unlikely that Scopely will heavily interfere with Pokémon Go's successful operations. The game continues to thrive, and a major focus for Niantic is now their new AR development team.

Steranka emphasized the close involvement of The Pokémon Company in decision-making processes related to Pokémon Go, suggesting that any actions contrary to their principles would be off the table.
