If you haven’t spent 600 hours of your life playing mobile games on the toilet, you might not be familiar with Scopely, the company behind Monopoly Go. However, it’s one of just two game development companies to have made Time Magazine’s annual list of the most influential companies.
Yup, as you can see in the full list here (thanks, Pocket Tactics), the mobile gaming giant behind the most lucrative thing that the Monopoly Man’s done since his board game began causing family units to shatter like droopy moustaches coated in liquid nitrogen has cracked the top 100, with Fortnite creator Epic Games being the only other company in the industry to make it.
Well, that’s unless you count Nvidia being lauded for its AI stuff, and Microsoft as a whole being on there for, er, “making stratgic moves”, which as it turns out is just code for more AI shite in this case. But back to Scopley and Monopoly Go, which has casually raked in $2 billion since it launched in April 2023.
