Is Selling To Monopoly Go A Breakthrough For Pokémon Go?
It is reported that Niantic, the developer of Pokémon Go, and Scopely, the publisher of Monopoly Go! under Saudi Arabia, are negotiating various aspects of the deal, but the deal has not yet been completed, and the developers on both sides have remained silent on it.
Current Status Of Operations Of Niantic, The Developer Of Pokémon Go
So far, Niantic still cooperates with its original partner to operate Monster Hunter Now, and the first game developed by Niantic is still in use. However, as Pokémon Go became popular in a short period of time, the developers of Pokémon Go tried to copy this popular model in an attempt to succeed in a short period of time. But the opposite happened, and blindly copying brought a large number of layoffs.
Introduction To Monopoly Go!
Scopely, the other party in the transaction with Niantic, as the developer of Monopoly Go!, is the largest mobile game in 2023 and is deeply loved by all players.
Monopoly Go! is a relatively simple board game that incorporates many elements. It can be used to build houses, etc. It is suitable for players to kill time in their spare time. There are not too many complicated rules in this game. Monopoly Go Dice is the key to the player's movement. Players can reach different boards according to the number of dice points. There are different tasks, rewards, adventures, etc. on different boards, which brings a sense of unknown to players. When the dice are not enough to use, they can be obtained by collecting login rewards and other activities.
Moreover, Monopoly Go! will continue to launch new tasks and other flash events every day. For example, the billionaire blueprint event that just ended, as players continue to upgrade, they will have the opportunity to obtain MG Stickers and other valuable items.
In short, this is a game suitable for multiplayer. The whole game is full of fun and adventure, and is deeply loved by players.
The Impact Of A Successful Transaction
Although the transaction between the two parties has not been completed, from the perspective of the game developer, if the transaction goes smoothly, Scopely will not only have Monopoly Go!, which is loved by players, but also Pokémon Go, which has exploded in a short period of time, then the company's market value will definitely increase.
However, developers need to think about how to retain the original players of Pokémon Go, whether to keep the original mode of the game or to modify and explore it according to the company's positioning. However, whether the revised game can retain the original players requires in-depth thinking.
If Niantic really sells Pokémon Go, how will Niantic develop in the future? Will it create new games or go bankrupt? Where will its employees go? All these require developers to think about.
Both games have their own player groups, and gamers are just spectators. Perhaps the sale of Pokémon Go will not cause other problems for players, but for developers, losing a hit game is really uncomfortable.
