Understanding the Lawsuit

A series of mass tort legal actions have been filed against companies including Epic Games (Fortnite) and Roblox Corporation. These lawsuits allege that the games were intentionally designed with addictive features and lacked sufficient safeguards for young players.

Key Allegations

• Unlimited play time without natural stopping points
• Microtransactions and rewards tied to spending
• Variable reward systems similar to gambling mechanics
• Social pressure from in-game groups or teams
• Stimulating graphics and sound designed to keep players engaged

These design elements have been linked to concerns about attention, behavior, and symptoms resembling addiction in children.

Potential Health and Behavioral Effects

Research suggests excessive gaming may contribute to or worsen issues such as:

• Mood swings or aggression when not gaming
• Difficulty focusing at school
• Changes in sleep and eating habits
• Withdrawal from family or social activities

Who May Qualify

Families may qualify to participate if:

• The child is under 18
• They spent significant time or money on Fortnite or Roblox
• They experienced emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges linked to gaming
• A professional raised concerns or made a diagnosis
• You are willing to share your story confidentially with a legal team

Participation typically begins with a confidential case review to confirm eligibility.

Possible Compensation

While outcomes vary, families may seek compensation for:

• 💰 Mental health treatment or therapy expenses
• 💰 Reimbursement for in-game purchases
• 💰 Emotional distress
• 💰 Punitive damages if companies are found liable

Past technology-related lawsuits have resulted in major settlements, and this area of litigation continues to develop.
