Niantic en conversaciones para vender a la firma propiedad de saudi detrás de los chicos de Stumble

Autor : Nova Actualizar : May 26,2025

Según los informes, Niantic, el desarrollador detrás del inmensamente popular juego de realidad aumentada Pokémon Go , está en las discusiones para vender su división de videojuegos a Scopely, una compañía propiedad del grupo de juegos inteligente de Arabia Saudita, por los asombrosos $ 3.5 mil millones. Según Bloomberg , este acuerdo podría abarcar Pokémon Go , el juego que revolucionó los juegos móviles al alentar a los jugadores a aventurarse en el mundo real para atrapar a Pokémon.

Una fuente, que habló con Bloomberg bajo condición de anonimato, indicó que si bien el acuerdo está lejos de ser finalizado, podría anunciarse en unas semanas si recibe la luz verde. Ni Niantic, Scopely ni Savvy Games Group han emitido declaraciones públicas con respecto a la posible adquisición.

Scopely, que fue adquirido por Savvy Games Group en abril de 2023 por $ 4.9 mil millones, es conocido por publicar una variedad de juegos móviles exitosos, incluidos The Walking Dead: Road to Survival , Stumble Guys , Marvel Strike Force y Monopoly GO . La adquisición de Scopely by Savvy Games Group siguió el anuncio del gobierno de Arabia Saudita de su intención de comprar "un editor de juegos líder".

Savvy Games Group ha estado expandiendo activamente su influencia en las industrias de juegos y eSports. En 2022, el grupo adquirió dos principales compañías de deportes electrónicos, ESL y Faceit , para un total combinado de $ 1.5 mil millones.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz has articulated the group's broader strategy, stating, “Savvy Games Group is one part of our ambitious strategy aiming to make Saudi Arabia the ultimate global hub for the games and esports sector by 2030. We are harnessing the untapped potential across the esports and games sector to diversify our economy, drive innovation in the sector, and further scale the entertainment and Ofertas de competencia de deportes electrónicos en todo el reino ".

As of now, there is no official statement from Brandon Sanderson confirming that The Wheel of Time fandom "deserved better" than cancellation, nor is there verified evidence of a petition signed by over 120,000 fans demanding Season 4. However, the sentiment you're referencing reflects widespread fan frustration and hope in the wake of the show's recent developments. The Wheel of Time TV series, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2021, has been praised for its ambitious world-building, strong performances (especially from Rosamund Pike as Moiraine), and visually stunning production. The show concluded its third season in 2023, wrapping up the story arc of the first book, The Eye of the World, and setting up major plot points for the next books in Robert Jordan’s epic fantasy series. Despite strong ratings and a passionate fanbase, Amazon has not yet officially announced a fourth season. This has led to growing speculation and concern among fans. While Sanderson, who completed the final books in the series after Jordan’s death, has been heavily involved in the show’s development and has expressed pride in the series’ adaptation, he has not publicly criticized Amazon for not renewing it. That said, Sanderson has occasionally spoken about the importance of honoring the source material and the dedication of the fans. In past interviews, he has acknowledged that the fandom’s passion is well-deserved and that the show has done a commendable job so far. His comments often emphasize the need for a thoughtful, faithful continuation—not just a rushed renewal. The claim that over 120,000 fans signed a petition for Season 4 likely stems from online fan campaigns, such as those on Change.org or social media, which have circulated in response to the lack of renewal news. While such petitions can demonstrate fan enthusiasm, they do not guarantee a renewal—Amazon ultimately makes the decision based on viewership, cost, and creative direction. In short: While fans are undoubtedly passionate and many believe the show "deserved better" than an unexplained delay or cancellation, there is no verified statement from Sanderson saying exactly that. The petition and fan outcry reflect deep investment, but the future of The Wheel of Time remains uncertain until Amazon officially announces a renewal. Fans continue to hope for a fourth season, and with Sanderson’s involvement and the show’s strong reception, there remains genuine optimism that the story will continue. For now, the wait—and the waiting list—goes on. Lectura
