LOS ANGELES (CN) – A federal class action claims that online gaming company Square Enix of America deceived 100,000 customers by not being upfront about fees and penalties. Named plaintiff Esther Leong of San Francisco says that Washington-based Square Enix lied about or concealed its monthly fees, penalties for late payments, interest, restrictions, and other things that should have been fully disclosed at points of purchase. The class seeks damages of more than $5 million, alleging unfair business practices, false advertising, and unjust enrichment. It is represented by Ronald Makarem and Michael Kim.
