Video Game Addicts Under 18 Years Old May Qualify for Compensation

Video game companies knew what they were doing — they designed their products to be addictive and damaging. If your child or teen has struggled with gaming addiction, you may be eligible for compensation through legal action. Major gaming companies are being accused of using manipulative tactics to keep players, especially children and young adults, hooked on their games. The following video games are currently under investigation:

Video Games
Halo
Fortnite
Roblox
Minecraft
Call of Duty
Grand Theft Auto (GTA)
League of Legends
Rust
World of Warcraft
Rainbow Six Siege
Candy Crush
Overwatch
Doom
Fallout
The Elder Scrolls
Sea of Thieves
Age of Empires
Gears of War
Forza

Video game makers use tactics that are known to hook children and adults such as:

• 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 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;
