Homeowners allegedly affected by the positioning of Niantic's Pokémon Go virtual gyms and Pokéstops have submitted a proposal to a Calfornian judge in the hope of settling its legal dispute with the developer.
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the plaintiffs - who maintain that the hugely popular augmented-reality game resulted in players trespassing on or near their properties - hope an agreement will settle the dispute which was originally lodged in 2016. If a judge agrees, Niantic will be forced to become more responsible for the placement of its virtual locations... and the placement of the Pokémon themselves, of course.
The case is particularly significant as it may redefine who is responsible for trespassing; the actual person doing it, or the game/app/company that's encouraging them to do so via virtual goods?
