Legal Proceedings
The lawsuit, filed by a group of disgruntled players, alleged that the Pokémon Go app maker engaged in unfair trade practices by intentionally manipulating in-game mechanics to exploit users to spend more money on in-app purchases. However, after careful consideration of the evidence presented, the Palm Beach County Court ruled in favor of the Pokémon Go app maker and dismissed the claim.
