Video Game Addiction Lawsuits Against Major Developers Dismissed

Lawsuits targeting companies like EA, Epic Games, and Microsoft for causing addiction in minors have been voluntarily dropped.

Two lawsuits filed in Ohio and Arkansas accusing top video game companies of causing addiction in minors have been dismissed.
The lawsuits named companies including Epic Games, Activision Blizzard, Microsoft, Sony, Take Two Interactive, and Roblox.
Defense lawyers argued that user agreements mandate arbitration and cited First Amendment protections for video games as artistic expressions.
A similar case remains ongoing, filed by parents in Arkansas, claiming their child developed an addiction to games like Battlefield and Fortnite.
The dismissed lawsuits are part of a broader trend, with many similar cases being voluntarily dismissed in recent months.
