I don’t want to get told off, so am wondering if we can talk about the announcement? I am wondering what this will mean for the community and beyond.

2015 is when niantic said.. we nd helppppp haha

PoGo Hub just shared a breakdown article about this: https://pokemongohub.net/post/interview/pokemon-gos-michael-steranka-interview-reveals-more-info-on-scopely-sale/ The most important thing I took away from reading this about the interview was that nothing is changing in the immediate future for…

Doesn’t really answer any of our questions here, except that there may be staff that’s impacted by the change, which isn’t unusual.

Ty for the link. I remember other reorganizations where people we had come to depend on, and even think of as friends, were let go. This is always hard, and I hope as many people as possible can be retained.

Now that Naintic has officially sold Pogo and some other games to the Saudis, what will happen to the wayfarer community and nominations?

Hi, as there is already a thread on this subject, just letting you know I have merged your post to it. Note that there isn’t much that is known yet.

The Wayfarer Community are throwing a massive global party. Free drinks, snacks, music, etc. This is just a rumour at the moment. :eyes:

Wayfarer was also included in the sale. [IMG_0064] We are all just speculating in this thread about what that means for the future, so feel free to share your thoughts too.

Looks like 68 people are being laid off, according to this article. I’m thinking good thoughts for those affected. https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/niantic-spatial-layoffs-ferry-building-20240572.php [image]
