Saudi Arabia-owned Scopely Inc.
Are they buying it for the business opportunity or the massive amounts of geolocation data to assist in kidnapping and murdering women and dissidents around the world?

to assist in kidnapping and murdering women and dissidents around the world?
Gotta catch 'em all. Pokémon!
The plot is right in the catch phrase.
to assist in kidnapping and murdering women and dissidents around the world?
I will travel across the land Searching far and wide
They even specified their tenaciousness
I missed "Go" and thought they meant Game Freak and I was quite shocked lol
Oh fuck no.
They ruined Stumble Guys, don't let them ruin Pokémon GO
That sounds bad. I like Pokemon Go. What kind of ruining are we talking about?
They turned Stumble Guys p2w, not to mention that when you open the game you get like 4 pop-ups for real life money stuff
There are emotes that can punch or kick a player to get them eliminated, and these are OP and locked behind the battle pass
Some people say Pokemon Go is already P2W. But as long as Community Days/shinies are still as available as they are with F2P, then I'll stick around and even give them some of my Google Play money, lol
Can't wait for the one free pokestop spin a day and one free Pokémon in a gym a day. Better hope multiple Pokémon don't come home at once, you'll be charged to let them come back and still won't get any extra coins for it. Coins from gym are put into escrow until your watch ten ads.
