Potential $3.5B Pokémon Go deal has players concerned about ‘pay to win’ changes

Niantic is reportedly putting its games division up for sale, according to a Feb. 19 report from Bloomberg, with a potential deal between Niantic Inc. and Scopely Inc. that enters the realm of $3.5 billion. The deal would seemingly include Pokémon Go and other mobile titles.
The deal between the two parties is unconfirmed—it could potentially not take place if an agreement isn’t reached—but the news has some community members concerned regardless, particularly due to other titles that fall under the Scopely name.
