Last week, Monopoly owner Spopely got a bunch of games from Niantic's Pokemon Go headlines, creating some kind of terrible Go-Liath Alliance that Saudi-backed. Naturally, there are a lot of things that have made Pokemon game players totally inevitable, and one of its executives aims to challenge buds through recent interviews.
Apart from some reasonable discomfort with Niantic, it was sold for a $3.5 billion deal to a publisher owned by Saudi Arabia’s controversial savvy game group, which is feared could be a harbinger of changes that could bring some dubious ads and monetization practices, while other games are other Pokemon’s games.

Pokemon Go's senior vice president Ed Wu tried to remove any fear in the Naninantic announcement of the deal, and more things came from Michael Stranka, the game's senior product director, in a chat with Polygon.
When asked if the game had any plans to use something like “invasive ads interrupt gameplay” or the game time limit that could push people to move forward towards payments, Straka’s answer was “Absolutely no, this never happened in Pokemon – now there is no, now, never happens”. So basically, if you ask someone if you want to use the game to make it look like it's on the fingers given to Pikachu, you'll get the same response.
The executive continues to reiterate what Wu said – huge good, outstanding people think that the pokemons get good, and mean people don't mess with a good thing. This is the information you are currently receiving, although it is up to you if you believe the company sticks to it.
Meanwhile, according to one of Steanka's other answers, it sounds like Pokemon Go may affect some changes in Scopely's game and vice versa. “They are very interested in the fact that Pokémon Go is such a stable business, but it's almost not just that they're very interested in trying to learn from us and applying it to other games in our portfolio and future games as well,” the issuer's executive said.
Will things actually work this way in the long run? It's still early, so we have to wait and see. One thing I do know is that at one point in the interview, Steranka joked that accopely didn't turn Pokemon into “Pokemon Stort Ot On Earth at Home”, which could be the moment when the concept comedy died.
Yes, it's very rich for me – a notorious and merciless deliveryman, and it's a joke – but I'm doing it anyway.
