Introduction: Video Game Addiction and Legal Rights
Good afternoon, Attorney Tracy Paulsen of Rightful Legal. Today, I wanted to talk about video game addiction. If you have a child, a loved one, or know someone who plays video games, then you might be acutely aware of this major issue that is plaguing many of our youth.
How Gaming Companies Manipulate Players
Video games have been purposefully engineered to create addictive behaviors in young children and teenagers. These large companies have designed these games to be addictive—almost like gambling or being affected like drugs. These companies knew the harm that could be caused, yet they put no safety measures or precautions in place in the video games they engineered to function this way.
Shocking Health & Mental Effects
There have been many negative health effects resulting from video game addiction. Society has seen major losses, including suicides of young children, addictive behaviors, mental illness, major loss in school , and financial loss. Here at Rightful Legal want to fight for the justice of those who have been affected by these major corporations that knew very well the harm that these video games are causing but chose to prioritize profits over the health of young people.
Gaming Lawsuit Explained: Can You Get Compensation?
You may be entitled to compensation if you have suffered mental health issues, educational struggles, financial problems, or suicidal thoughts. If you or someone you know is younger than 25 years of age and has spent four or more hours each day playing video games for at least five weeks, you may qualify for legal action.
Who Qualifies for the Lawsuit?
There is a current multi-district litigation (MDL) lawsuit pending. We’d be more than happy to discuss whether you may be eligible and answer any questions you may have about this lawsuit and your ability to get compensation for the suffering you’ve experienced.
Our goal is also to hold these companies liable and accountable for the harm they have caused, with the idea that we can change society and change them to not do this in the future and put these precautionary measures in place.
