Fortnite Addicts Under 18 Years Old May Qualify for Compensation

Video game companies have allegedly been designed to be addictive and are thus damaging, both psychologically and financially, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The World Health Organization (WHO) has even recognized gaming disorder as a mental health condition.

If your child or teen has struggled with addiction to Fortnite you may be eligible for potentially significant compensation.

Major gaming companies, such as Epic Games, the makers of Fortnite, are being accused of using manipulative tactics to keep players, especially children and young adults, hooked on their games.

Video game makers use tactics that are known to allegedly hook children psychologically:

• Reward systems designed to trigger compulsive play
• In-game purchases and loot boxes that encourage spending
• Lack of clear warnings about the risks of addiction
• Minimal parental controls and time limits
• These practices can lead to real, serious harm-both mental and physical.

What Are the Harms of Video Game Addiction?

Addiction isn't just “playing too much” - It can disrupt every part of you or your child's life:

• Social isolation: Withdrawing from friends and family
• Mental health issues: Anxiety, depression, emotional outbursts
• Physical injuries: Eye strain, repetitive stress injuries, sleep problems
• Academic/work problems: Falling behind in school or at work
• Financial strain: Excessive spending on in-game purchases

Who Can Qualify for a Payment?

You may qualify if you or your child:

• Played video games such as Fortnite for more than 4 hours a day on average;
• Suffered from a diagnosis or injury such as ADHD, depression, ODD, diagnosed gaming disorder, Computer Vision Syndrome, Gamer's Rage, Gamer's Thumb, suicide attempt, carpal tunnel, seizures, orthopedic injury, or other related harm;
• You do not currently have a lawyer representing your video addiction compensation claims.
