Pokémon Go Director on Scopely: No Need for Fan Concern

Fans of Pokémon Go have expressed concerns following the recent acquisition of its developer, Niantic, by Scopely, known for creating Monopoly Go. Worries range from potential increases in intrusive advertisements to fears about data privacy breaches. However, these anxieties may soon be alleviated thanks to a recent interview conducted by Polygon with Michael Steranka, one of Niantic's product directors.

During the interview, Steranka highlighted Scopely's positive attributes and assured fans that both companies share similar values. He confidently stated that Scopely has no intention of introducing obtrusive ads into Pokémon Go, addressing a primary concern among users.

Privacy-conscious gamers will find comfort in Steranka's assurance that Niantic will not share or sell player data to third parties. Furthermore, he emphasized that the integration of Niantic under Scopely's umbrella will bring minimal changes to the existing team.

Status Quo Assured
It’s unlikely that Scopely will interfere significantly with Pokémon Go's operations, given its current success. Instead, Niantic’s focus is shifting toward expanding augmented reality applications through a newly formed spin-off division.

Steranka also noted that The Pokémon Company plays a crucial role in decision-making processes, ensuring that practices unacceptable to them remain off-limits moving forward.
