If you happen to dabble in video games, you may have heard of this thing called Fortnite. Ask anyone what Fortnite is, and they may say it’s a battle royale game – but the truth is that it’s so much more. With countless IPs, game modes, events, and experiences crammed into one place, Fortnite almost has something for everyone. Perhaps that’s why it’s so popular, and according to a class action lawsuit, so “addictive”.
As reported by CTV News (thanks, PC Gamer), Epic Games is being sued for using “experts” to make Fortnite so addictive that players stick to it for as long as possible. The filing also claims that the game does not properly explain how addictive or harmful playing Fortnite for an extended period of time can be. The class action lawsuit was originally filed in 2019, and it was reportedly authorized by Quebec Superior Court Justice, Sylvain Lussier on Wednesday.
