Pokemon Go developer Niantic loses arbitration bid in sexual bias lawsuit

A class action lawsuit against Pokémon Go developer Niantic regarding an internal “sexist work culture that disadvantages female employees” is moving forward after the Los Angeles County Superior Court denied the company’s attempts at arbitration. 

Back on July 7, a lawsuit against Niantic was filed that claimed the company “systemically devalued the work of female employees” and alleged several violations of the California Equal Pay Act and other fair employment laws. This came less than a week after Niantic cut hundreds of jobs, canceled several games, and shuttered its Los Angeles studio—where the filing employee worked since 2020.
