If it was actually damaging it would have been more.
It's fairly evident then that Game Freak has nothing to fear after the sales turnaround despite the backlash for not coding all the pokemon and moves into the game.
I mean honestly... all adding every pokemon amounts to is a gross exaggeration of just copy-pasting and then editing in the respective file flags. It's not rocket science and I could do each gen in a day once I had the assets (which were already available).
But I'm getting off-topic. Point is, Game Freak doesn't feel like leaking the game is damaging enough at this stage so the $150k is to a slap on the wrist for companies such as them.
