Pokémon Go erhält neue Eigentümer: Niantic verkauft Spieleportfolio
Niantic hat sein Spieleportfolio, einschließlich des beliebten Augmented-Reality-Spiels Pokémon Go, für 3,5 Milliarden Dollar an den Mobile-Gaming-Giganten Scopely verkauft. Gerade per Zufall gelesen, als ich meine RSS-Feeds durch gescrollt habe. Gelesen hatte ich diese News bei Smartdroid.de . Das Spiel erfreut sich weiterhin großer Beliebtheit, denn jeden Tag spielen mehrere hundertmillionen Nutzer das Spiel weltweit. Pokémon Go basiert auf dem vorherigen Spiel von Niantic, […]https://dasnetzundich.de/pokemon-go-erhaelt-neue-eigentuemer-niantic-verkauft-spieleportfolio/
Verkauf von Pokémon Go: Niantic übergibt Games-Abteilung an Scopely
Das Kultspiel Pokémon Go und andere Games wechseln den Besitzer. Niantic verkauft seine Spieleabteilung für 3,5 Milliarden Dollar an Scopely, hinter dem der saudische Staatsfonds steht. Mit die

#SaudiArabia Buys #PokémonGo, and Probably All of Your #Location Data
Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund bought most popular #AR #videogame of all time, with collective worldwide player base of over 100 million people.
An already very complicated and vast location data ecosystem that was controlled by one #American company (#Niantic) has now become a far more complicated location data ecosystem controlled by an “American” comp wholly owned by Saudi Arabian conglomerate.

Scheinbar will #Niantic (die Firma hinter u.a. #PokemonGO und #Ingress) ihre Spiele-Sparte an #Scopely verkaufen. Ich kannte Scopely nicht, aber ist wohl eine Saudi-Arabische Handyspiel-Firma, die ihren Hauptumsatz mit Pay2Win Features und Werbung macht.

#Niantic is now trending across Mastodon
Pokemon Go -peli myydään 3,5 miljardilla
Pelin kehittänyt Niantic on luopumassa pelien kehityksestä ja on tietojen mukaan myymässä koko peliliiketoimintansa. Ostajana olisi Saudi-Arabian kasvurahaston omistama amerikkalainen peliyhtiö Scopely.

Anyway, I sent an in-game safety issue report of this, announcing that I’d stop playing #PokemonGo if this goes through. Who knows, if enough people do that #Niantic will listen?
Asking the question if I still want to play a game that is owned by an authoritarian regime (among many other atrocities in the business of cutting up journalists) is really answering it, isn't it? CC @andrewstroehlein
And because we really can't have nice things, apparently Niantic is about to sell Pokémon Go to Scopely that is apparently a very shitty company based in Saudi Arabia.
My only hope is that The Pokémon Company vetoes this one way or the other.

Ich spiele schon recht lange #Ingress und heute hab ich mit einem neu zugezogenen Spieler eine seit November 2018 stumme lokale Telegram-Gruppe dazu wiederbelebt. Wie die Zeit vergeht...
#PokemonGo Was A Plot To Use Your Data To Fast Track An #AI-Slop Google #Maps Competitor
#Niantic is using scans of the real world from the game to create an AI-based #navigation system https://jalopnik.com/pokemon-go-was-a-plot-to-use-your-data-to-fast-track-an-1851706279
There is always a grain of truth in a proper conspiracy theory. Despite claims dated back to 2016, recently amplified by Belarus's head of ideology, that #Pokemon Go was funded by CIA, #Niantic, the owner of the popular game, used the user-acquired data to train Large Geospatial Model (#LGM).

Do you remember the Pokémon Go craze a few years ago? Now, its players are getting scammed by the game's maker, Niantic. The company has jumped onto the AI bandwagon and is selling player data -- all those locations they sent you to, and all those photos you dutifully took are being fed into AI training.

If you're sick of hearing about Large Language Models (LLMs), get ready for Large Geospatial Model (LGM) hype!
Currently, it appears to be at the stage where Niantic has had dreams of monetisation, put up a "For Sale" sign, spaffed a bunch of AI hype on their website, and baited a trap to get the gullible with a bunch of techy sounding keywords such AI and Augmented Reality (see attached screenshot).
Will it cost a lot of money? Yes.
Will it burn a lot of electricity and cause a lot of pollution? Yes.
Will it amount to anything useful?
No, I don't think so.
"Niantic is building a ‘geospatial’ AI model based on Pokémon Go player data"
"Pokémon Go data" - you mean all the portals we Ingress-players added are being re-used for something other than Pokémon arenas?

Niantic, the company behind the extremely popular augmented reality mobile games Pokémon Go and Ingress, announced that it is using data collected by its millions of players to create an AI model that can navigate the physical world.

#Niantic: How can we drive engagement to rebuild the #PokemonGo community we unintentionally destroyed? I know, we'll force people to band together in groups of 20-40 to have a shot at grabbing a #Gigantamax Pokemon!
Two days later.
Some 20,000 gamers descended on Shibuya on the weekend of Oct. 13 to hunt for virtual monsters as Niantic hosted an in-person live event for Monster Hunter Now in an attempt to emulate the success of Pokemon Go. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/10/16/tech/monster-hunter-shibuya/ #business #tech #virtualreality #videogames #augmentedreality #pokemongo #niantic #tech
Aber der vierten Aufgabe wird die Challenge bei #Ingress doch herausfordernd - die ersten drei habe ich gestern in gut 2h erledigt (gut, halt immer nur zwei von drei gemacht). Hier werde ich jetzt die Glyph Hacks + Felder machen, denn es gibt in erreichbarer Nähe keine Felder zum Zerstören.
