A 2009 lawsuit brought against Square Enix over alleged concealment of fees for Final Fantasy XI has been dismissed. Plaintiff Esther Leong filed a class-action suit against the company, claiming that monthly fees, late payment penalties, and other charges weren’t sufficiently disclosed at retail.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the lawsuit on December 20, meaning Leong and the unspecified “class” she represented are not entitled to the $5 million in damages sought. Here’s something else to think about, as you ponder the nuances of this case: right now, someone in the world is still playing Final Fantasy XI.
