Niantic Labs將其遊戲部門以35億美元出售予沙特阿拉伯的Scopely

(路透社)- Niantic Labs宣布將其遊戲部門以35億美元出售給沙特阿拉伯擁有的Scopely,這是該美國增強現實公司在未能重現2016年大熱遊戲《Pokemon Go》成功之後,轉向地理空間技術的一部分。

這筆交易於週三宣布,進一步推進了沙特阿拉伯成為全球遊戲「終極中心」的雄心。該國的主權財富基金通過Savvy Games於2023年以49億美元收購了Scopely,這是該國在多元化經濟、超越化石燃料方面的一部分更廣泛努力。

Niantic表示,根據這筆交易將向其股東分配額外的3.5億美元。該公司還將其地理空間人工智能業務分拆為一家名為Niantic Spatial的新公司,將由Niantic創始人兼首席執行官約翰·漢克(John Hanke)領導。

Niantic Spatial將獲得2.5億美元的資金,其中2億美元來自Niantic的資產負債表,5000萬美元來自Scopely。所有Niantic的原始投資者還將繼續成為Niantic Spatial的股東。

這一舉措是Niantic在幾年艱難時期後的結果。自《Pokemon Go》成為成功的手機遊戲以來,該公司一直難以重複其成功,並在2022年和2023年裁減了員工。它還在2022年終止了《哈利·波特:巫師聯盟》的遊戲。

對於沙特來說,這筆交易鞏固了其作為日益增長的遊戲中心的地位,並且是電子競技世界盃的主辦地,這筆交易建立在該國計劃通過Savvy Games Group在與遊戲相關的行業中投資近380億美元的基礎上。

評論與分析

這一交易不僅是Niantic的一次重大轉變,也標誌著沙特阿拉伯在全球遊戲產業中正快速崛起。隨著地理空間技術的發展,Niantic的專注轉變或許能夠為其未來的增長開啟新的可能性,但同時也反映了在競爭激烈的市場中,持續的創新和適應的重要性。

沙特的投資計劃顯示出其對遊戲行業的重視,並希望透過這些投資來推動經濟多元化。未來,這樣的策略是否能夠真正使沙特成為全球遊戲的中心,還需時間來觀察。不過,這樣的發展無疑將吸引更多的國際目光,並可能改變全球遊戲市場的格局。

A striking black-and-white cinematic photograph of a mysterious woman standing calm and composed in the center of a dense crowd of paparazzi, dozens of photographers surrounding her, all aiming vintage cameras with flashes raised. The woman wears dark sunglasses, minimal makeup, and an elegant dark outfit, her expression emotionless and powerful, symbolizing isolation amid fame. High contrast lighting, dramatic shadows, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on the central subject, blurred foreground faces and cameras, classic film grain, 35mm analog photography style, noir aesthetic, timeless Hollywood atmosphere, intense realism, editorial fashion photography, moody, iconic, award-winning composition. Base Setup
keep 100 percent facial information adherence of the attached image and turn her into a lone night hiker standing in the shallow river at the mouth of the canyon, captured as a live action photograph or movie still, not an illustration or CGI render, with an alluring, confident, quietly sexy mood.

Shot and Camera
Three quarter body shot from slightly low height on the riverbank, placing her on the left third while the water leads into the dark canyon and the star filled sky dominates the top of the frame, preserving the original wide vertical composition.

Identity and Pose
She has a slim athletic build, natural proportions, medium length loose hair, and lightly tanned skin, 8k Photorealistic and hyper realistic. She stands barefoot in the water with one leg forward, hips relaxed, wearing a fitted cropped technical top and separate high waisted trail shorts with an open lightweight jacket slipping off one shoulder, one hand loosely holding a headlamp at her side and the other brushing hair from her face as she looks up at the stars.

Lighting and Environment
Keep the soft starlight and faint glow from the distant horizon, giving a gentle rim on her shoulders and hair while a subtle fill from the reflected sky reveals her features. The canyon walls, river reflections, pebbled shore, and dense star field stay exactly like the reference, with small ripples around her feet grounding her in the water.

Masking and Constraints
Change only by adding the subject and her outfit, keep lighting, perspective, white balance, canyon geometry, and river reflections the same, with realistic scale, body proportions, and clear contact between feet and water surface. Change only the requested element and keep lighting, perspective, white balance, pose, face geometry, body proportions, and silhouette the same, and absolutely avoid added text, painterly or toon styling, CGI look, blown highlights, banding, plastic skin, overly tidy backgrounds, or floating feet while requiring consistent perspective, consistent white balance, subtle film like grain, and physically correct contact shadows and reflections. 一隻在香港茶餐廳喝奶茶的貓
