Video Game Addiction is not New – Game Makers Have Known of the Dangers for Decades

Publish Date : 05/06/2025

Video game addiction lawsuits seek to hold defendants accountable for known risks associated with excessive video game usage. Injured parties allege game manufacturers, one, failed to warn of the of the dangers of video game addiction, and two, failed to provide protections and safeguards against known risks associated with excessive use. Plaintiffs further argue, game makers chose instead to place profits over safety, by not just ignoring the risks, but rather, exploiting the potential dangers when marketing to minors and by designing games to take advantage of the vulnerable.

As a result of their actions, manufacturers have collected billions of dollars, while at the same time causing or contributing to an alleged public health crisis, as the addictions have ruined families, and caused emotional, social, physical and financial injury to millions. We seek justice for those exploited and harmed in the name of profit.
