Pokémon GO Fest Lawsuit Is Settled

Last July, Niantic hosted Pokémon GO Fest in Chicago’s Grant Park. The sold-out event was intended as a massive celebration Pokémon Go‘s success. Unfortunately, the event did not go very well. Poor Wi-Fi connections rendered the game almost entirely unplayable, and Niantic was forced to issue full refunds. In response, a group of frustrated players organized a class-action lawsuit seeking reimbursement for the costs incurred during the the trip to Go Fest.
