      I guess so. Actually more like owned by the SA state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopely

      [Scopely] is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Savvy Games Group, an entity founded and managed by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, which purchased Scopely for $8.9 billion in 2023.

      On March 12, 2025, Niantic, Inc. announced plans to sell the majority of its video game division to Scopely in a reported $3.5 billion deal, including games Pokémon Go, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now, and companion apps Campfire and Wayfarer.
