Niantic paying out $1.5 million over failed Pokemon GO festival

Last year Niantic held the Pokemon GO festival in Chicago which can only be described as a “failure”. This of course brought lawsuits and now Pokemon Go developer Niantic has settled the lawsuit.

Niantic agreed to pay out $1,575,000 to attendees. If you were one of them, you can find more information on how to get your share of the money here.

This comes just in time as Niantic is preparing for the second Pokemon GO festival next month. Hopefully they’ve learned some lessons.
