New class-action lawsuit contends video game Fortnite is as addictive as cocaine
Two Quebec parents are suing Epic Games, a video game developer known primarily for their game Fortnite, over allegations that Fortnite is “as addictive as cocaine” and that Epic Games is targeting children with its marketing.
Montreal law firm Calex Légal brought the class-action suit against Epic Games to the Montreal Court of Justice on October 3 after being hired by two parents with children aged 10 and 15, respectively, that they claim are addicted to Fortnite.
