I don’t see as any worse, necessarily. For all I know, Saudi Arabia was previously buying the data from Niantic piecemeal.

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.

In the end all that changes is a Saudi company on NSA checks instead of a US one.

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,
they won't even have to install NSO anymore.
prepare to see news reports of many more mysterious murders, and obvious assassinations.

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.

Next up, Saudi Arabia buys the Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel smartphone lines. Pokemon Go comes installed in the system partition for free with 1000 free PokeCoins, how generous!
