Ken PescatoreHOST
We're going to unpack it all.
Ken PescatoreHOST
But Scopely kind of snuck this one in on us, and there's a significant nerf to balloons.
Ken PescatoreHOST
And we're only going to get one per day this whole season.
Ken PescatoreHOST
So we'll talk about it, what it can mean.
9 MINS LATER
Ken PescatoreHOST
It's coming back on a raid day, bro.
Ken PescatoreHOST
If they release the shiny.
Ken PescatoreHOST
It will be the ultimate Scopely troll, bro.
Ken PescatoreHOST
The ultimate Scopely troll.
Jeff GrubbHOST
What if we had half of that, and just, like, let the l- that one company come together and r- and run both of those sides of the silo?" Um, so y- uh, beyond that, like, I don't see what this really does for, you know, making better games or anything like that, and of course, that doesn't seem to be the concern, Jason.
Jason FanelliGUEST
Yeah, no, they just kinda wanted to put everybody with these well-oiled machines, like EA Sports games and the massive Monopoly Go and Pokemon Go over there at Scopely.
Jeff GrubbHOST
Yes.
Jason FanelliGUEST
Because I always forget that Pokemon Go is not Niantic anymore.
Jeff GrubbHOST
No.
Jason FanelliGUEST
It's Scopely.
Jason FanelliGUEST
I need to, I need to g- center my brain on that.
Jason FanelliGUEST
And just put them in a, in a, in one big building and say, "Go be your well-oiled machines and just make us money." Um, I don't see any way that this could possibly go wrong.
Bruce GreeneHOST
Uh, Saudi Arabia already bought EA in a record $55 billion deal that actually closed recently.
Bruce GreeneHOST
While Savvy has spent billions building its own gaming empire, including the purchases of Scopely and Niantic's Games business.
Bruce GreeneHOST
That's a lot of, uh, mobile games, if you're not following along.
Lawrence SonntagHOST
Wonder how many, how many private jets do you have to gift the president before he'll just stamp this on through, huh? Uh-
ValleyFlyinHOST
So I don't think we're gonna see too many three-person teams because, like I said, one of the intents of these towers is getting to invest in new teams, and we only have to invest three of the members of the f- instead of the full five.
ValleyFlyinHOST
That, that's less training mats and gold that we have to use, and I think that's one of the things that Scopely is trying to do, is, uh, get us to spend gold and resources so that we would have to make that up with real world money.
ValleyFlyinHOST
Um, this will not be, this will not...
ValleyFlyinHOST
Uh, the previous Kiln rules will not be in effect for this one.
Caleb PengHOST
I would 100% power it up and use it, but I would have been okay with it not happening for what seems to be a reaction to the uproar from the NYC 100% Mewtwo situation.
Caleb PengHOST
It just felt like Scopely messed up on how hard to go with special items at a live event.
Caleb PengHOST
Either way, it's not the worst mistake Pokemon Go has made.
Caleb PengHOST
But for the super casual, they probably won't get them to raid U2 again since they gave them the max chase.
Jen DonahoeHOST
Phil, do you wanna do yours first since you were before me?
Phillip BlackHOST
Yeah, I mean, look, I still remember being at Scopely, like early days Scopely, when you and I worked together, Jen, you claim you have no knowledge of.
Jen DonahoeHOST
No knowledge.
Eric KressHOST
[laughs]
Jen DonahoeHOST
Zero.
Phillip BlackHOST
We did, we did our tour of duty together, and I remember one of the PMs there would always send out the newsletter for the week, and there would always be some Twig shenanigan on there.
Phillip BlackHOST
And that became, like, the thing you would talk about, like, in the hallways of Scopely is, like...
Phillip BlackHOST
You know, there'd be a couple people who'd listen, and you're like, "Oh, my God, what'd they say? What...
JayHOST
Yeah, but they could listen to whenever there's so many things on the screen.
JayHOST
But, you know, we don't run Scopely, so...
BrandonHOST
Yep.
BrandonHOST
Anyway, you guys, anything else I'm forgetting, Jay?
Nate PacygaGUEST
Then just continued to build out more tech in 2019, built a skill-based gaming kind of infrastructure for uh unity and built on top of um uh i'm blanking out on the name google uh fire or something i'm blanking out on the name uh anyway so platform uh that google has uh and then went on to work for a major video game company scopely for a while That was a lot of fun.
Nate PacygaGUEST
And now kind of back doing my own thing.
Nate PacygaGUEST
So ended with Scopely around end of 25 and excuse me, January of 25.
Nate PacygaGUEST
And now I've just been studying AI and really just went, oh, my gosh, this is going to completely revolutionize everything.
Nate PacygaGUEST
It's going to change everything.
WildcatDad17HOST
Yeah, play Pokemon.
HoosierDada13HOST
And so it's, yeah, you know, here is Scopely, here is Niantic.
HoosierDada13HOST
You know, we can make a change for remote raid passes or limits or things like that that are in the game.
HoosierDada13HOST
But as far as this goes, this is outside of all of that.
Stafford ShireHOST
No, I didn't even complain to Scopely.
Stafford ShireHOST
I just mean raising enough of a stink that Papa Pikachu notices.
Stafford ShireHOST
For
15 MINS LATER
HoosierDada13HOST
So, I think to Blind's point is... us consistent players found the event to be mid.
Robin ConquetHOST
Can you tell us more about Scoply and why the data team was based in Barcelona to start, please?
Jonathan PalmerGUEST
Scopely was a mobile gaming business when I joined it back in 2020, but now it's much more kind of multi-platform, let's say, than some of their games, as you said, like Monopoly Go, Stumble Guys, Star Trek Fleet Command, that sort of thing.
Jonathan PalmerGUEST
They were founded in LA originally.
Jonathan PalmerGUEST
I would have been, I guess, in the first 500 people are joining and now it's many thousands and it's offices all over the world.
23 MINS LATER
Jonathan PalmerGUEST
And certainly towards the end of it, I started to feel okay.
Jonathan PalmerGUEST
Have I got it in me to do this same motion again? And I started to have doubts about that more from a personal energy perspective.
Jonathan PalmerGUEST
And Scopely grew really fast and had all sorts of challenges along the way and nothing to do with data and analytics.
Jonathan PalmerGUEST
So I definitely was feeling, okay, I think I need to watch a different movie for one reason or another.
