    Sure but they’re just buying a licensed property with a declining player base and leaving Niantic with the base tech and the drive to innovate. It’s a dead end road where they’re buying the “secure” part of the company but it’s actually incredibly high risk because of how licensing agreements work. That’s why I call it dead tech. They’re not going to build anything out of it. It’ll just decline. Perhaps quite catastrophically at that.
