Video Game Addiction Class Action Lawsuit
Microsoft Corp., Nintendo of America Inc, Rockstar Games Inc. and other video game developers intentionally create addictive games to increase their profits, according to a recent Microsoft lawsuit filed by plaintiffs allegedly suffering from video game addiction.
It is asserted that “video game addiction is a worldwide epidemic harming our nation’s youth and young adults and has negatively affected many lives.”
Furthermore, video game addiction to the defendants’ products has caused suffering from brain damage, gamer’s rage, emotional distress, behavioral issues, trouble focusing at school, dropping grades and withdrawal symptoms.
The video game industry’s recent growth is allegedly due to patented monetization schemes targeting minors by enticing them to make in-game purchases of downloadable products, the lawsuit alleges. These in-game purchases often take the form of microtransactions that are low in price, but players are often required to make multiple purchases to advance in the game.
The Nintendo and Microsoft lawsuit asserts claims including negligence, strict liability, fraudulent misrepresentation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
