It is a Wednesday, and I am here to offer you news that, as far as I know, two of the best known mobile games in the world with Go in the name could be owned by the same company, which does not have a name in the name, and it is Property of the Saudi Arabia Smart game Group.
According to a Bloomberg report, Pokemon Go developer, Niantic, is in conversations with Monopoly Go Publisher Scopely on an agreement for the latter to check the commercial element of video games of the first. Around $ 3.5 billion, so several more volumes in cash than you or I will see in our lives, it is the proposed price that is currently being discussed.
Bloomberg adds that any agreement, if one is reached, is almost certain that Pokemon Go would be included. As you will remember, Go was massive on the days when TCG pocket had not yet become a flash in the TPC eye that is dedicated to doing lucrative things that involve an army of beautiful false animals that will then fight death in Your name, monster.
However, Niantic has struggled to replicate this type of success in recent Yers, despite the tastes of Monster Hunter Now and Pikmin Bloom they do it quite decently. MH now, for example, has helped one of my coworkers to realize that he really likes his teammates.
Enter Scopely, which is owned by the Savvy Games game Group that is part of the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, and is riding the monopoly wave that generates more effective than it would need to buy the entire board several times.
As is known, Savvy’s growing investment wave throughout the games industry, including bets in the taste of EA and Takewo Interactive, have proven to be controversial because the PIF is the sovereign background of wealth of Saudi Arabia, whose ruler Bin Salman Bin Salman and the Government has been criticized for the country’s human rights history. Bin Salman has also been accused of ordering the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
