For what games? I guess for one... you played too much Redfall.
Have game companies like Microsoft and Epic Games knowingly caused video game addiction in kids? According to a new lawsuit filed in Arkansas, that's the case.
The lawsuit, filed on October 30, states that that Microsoft, Epic Games, Activision Blizzard, EA, and others"use patented designs, algorithms and marketing containing addictive features and technology"leading to addiction.
These designs and "addictive features", the claim says utilized data collection of minors, predatory monetization schemes, and feedback loops to keep players more engaged.
