I can't believe Saudi Arabia are nationalising Pokemon Go when the UK won't even nationalise regional water monopolies. Honestly these things were never great for privacy and given the state of things I'm not sure I'm more concerned about a Saudi entity tracking me than a US one.
Not good news for gay Pokemon fans in that country though.
Gotta catch them all!

Waiting for them to further push monetization schemes. I'll bet on stat boosters and shiny rate enhancers for $$.

OK so instead of tracking journalists with NSO spyware and murdering them,

prepare to see news reports of many more mysterious murders, and obvious assassinations.

Saudi Arabia really likes to invest in dead tech.
They don't care about the tech, they care about the data.

You give them too much credit on this one. This decision was likely spearheaded by some nepo appointment who is out to diversify in the worst way. When your send cousin Johnny to college in the West, you're still not getting the best and brightest when he comes back. Whole structure of their investment fund is graft and bad decisions.

My mom: "hey honey how do I uninstall this Pokeman Go app? The uninstall button is greyed out. It's using 20% of my storage and battery"

they need to branch out from thier dying, single industry, oil. they have been lapping up sports teams all over. turns out the desert is not a good place to live with little to no natural resources outside of oil.

Pikmin Bloom too
Booooo. That sucks.
I was never into Pokemon before this app but this game was fun just finding new discoveries even in my own city.

Business ethics? Meh, just profits, just profits.
But it's "just business". You can't blame them. That's the get out of jail free card, often literally.
