Epic Games, creator of “Fortnite,” is being sued by three Canadian parents who claim the game upended their children's lives.

Canadian parents against Epic Games, the developer of “Fortnite.”“There is no doubt that the defendants have achieved their objective of making FORTNITE as addictive as possible,” the class-action lawsuit alleges, “and have therefore knowingly endangered the health of users without warning them of the danger associated with the use of FORTNITE.”The lawsuit, which was filed in October 2019, was authorized by a Quebec City judge last week.

The parents who filed the lawsuit say their children in some cases stopped eating, showering or socializing because of their obsession with the game.Advertisement
