Video Game Addiction
Connecting law firms with families of children harmed by addictive gaming design and predatory monetization.
Case Overview
Video game companies have engineered their products to be maximally addictive, particularly for children. Games like Fortnite and Roblox use psychological manipulation techniques—variable reward schedules, social pressure, infinite progression systems—to keep children playing compulsively.
Popular video game platforms, including loot boxes, battle passes, and in-game currencies, extract billions from children who can't fully understand they're gambling with real money. Some children have spent thousands of dollars without their parents' knowledge.
Lawsuits allege that gaming companies deliberately target children with addictive mechanics and fail to implement adequate safeguards to prevent gaming disorder or financial harm.
