Lawsuit Claims Addictive Features of Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft Damaged Child’s Brain

A lawsuit has been filed against several video game developers, alleging that their products have contributed to a serious gaming disorder in a 12-year-old player, Y.H., who has been gaming intensely since age three. Y.H. reportedly spends 971 hours on Fortnite, 292 hours on Roblox, and similar time on Minecraft, often playing five hours on school days and up to 12 hours on weekends. The child's guardian claims that Y.H. experiences withdrawal symptoms when gaming is interrupted and attributes this behavior to the developers' design choices. The lawsuit cites severe consequences for Y.H., including emotional distress, diminished social interactions, loss of interest in hobbies, and declining academic performance, alongside a diagnosis of ADHD. The claims include design defects, negligence, and intentional misrepresentation, seeking compensatory and punitive damages. Similar lawsuits have been filed across the U.S., but the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation declined to consolidate them, allowing individual cases to proceed in their respective courts.
