Niantic paying $1,575,000 over Pokemon GO Fest lawsuit

The inaugural Pokemon GO Fest did not go as planned. Many issues affected the event, leaving attendees unable to participate in activities.

A year later, Niantic will be paying $1,575,000 stemming from a Pokemon GO Fest lawsuit. Attendees can find information about how to receive payment here.

Niantic will be giving Pokemon GO Fest another try when it returns to Chicago next month. The company says it has learned from last year’s mistakes, and will attempt to avoid similar problems this time around.
