What Are Video Game Addiction Lawsuits?
Video game addiction lawsuits have been filed by families across the country, claiming that major gaming companies have designed their games to be intentionally addictive — especially for children and teens.
These lawsuits argue that companies use certain features to keep players engaged for as long as possible, like daily rewards, time-limited events, and unpredictable prizes. For some, this can lead to emotional, physical, and financial consequences.
Video game addiction lawsuits claim companies:
- Failed to warn players and parents about the risks associated with gaming
- Intentionally designed games to be addictive to boost engagement and increase in-game purchases
- Marketed to minors without implementing safeguards to protect them from excessive play
- Promoted excessive spending in a way that mimics gambling
- Used psychological tactics like variable rewards, timed incentives, and microtransactions to encourage compulsive behavior
