Millions of families across the U.S. are discovering that video games once seen as harmless entertainment have turned into a source of psychological harm, emotional distress, and financial exploitation. Children and teens are spending excessive hours online, losing sleep, falling behind in school, and developing addiction-like behaviors linked to video gaming platforms such as Roblox, Fortnite, Call of Duty, and others.
If your child has suffered mental, emotional, or physical harm due to video game addiction, you may be eligible to join the Video Game Addiction (VGA) mass tort lawsuit and seek compensation.
What Is the Video Game Addiction Lawsuit?
The Video Game Addiction Lawsuit (VGA Tort) is a growing legal action against major gaming companies accused of intentionally designing their products to be addictive — particularly targeting minors.
These lawsuits claim that companies like Epic Games (Fortnite), Roblox Corporation, and others have created environments that manipulate children using psychological tactics similar to gambling mechanisms, including:
- Reward loops and unpredictable incentives that keep players hooked
- Microtransactions and loot boxes designed to exploit impulsive behavior
- Social pressure and ranking systems that encourage constant engagement
- Exposure to explicit or violent content that harms young players
- Negligent monitoring and lack of parental safeguards
Parents allege that these companies prioritized profits over the well-being of children, leading to serious mental health and behavioral issues.
Signs of Video Game Addiction in Children
Video game addiction can affect children’s mental health, academic performance, and family relationships. Common warning signs include:
- Excessive gaming (often 6–12 hours a day or more)
- Withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, or depression when not playing
- Neglecting school, hobbies, or social interactions
- Sudden mood swings or aggression
- Sleep deprivation and physical exhaustion
- Spending large sums of money on in-game purchases
If your child’s gaming habits have become uncontrollable or have caused measurable harm, legal help may be available.
Why Families Are Filing Video Game Addiction Lawsuits
Recent lawsuits argue that major video game developers have knowingly engineered games to exploit the developing brains of minors, using the same reward psychology found in casinos and social media platforms.
The goal of these lawsuits is to:
- Hold companies accountable for deceptive and harmful design practices
- Recover damages for families affected by gaming addiction
- Push for stricter regulations on youth-oriented digital products
Roblox, Fortnite, and similar platforms are among those being reviewed for their impact on children’s mental health, online safety, and exposure to exploitation.
Who Can File a Video Game Addiction Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to join the VGA mass tort if:
- The affected individual is under 18 years old
- The child has developed severe gaming addiction, emotional distress, or behavioral issues
- The addiction caused measurable harm (academic decline, therapy costs, or health effects)
- There is evidence such as medical records, therapist reports, or financial loss due to in-game spending

What Compensation Could Families Recover?
Families participating in the Video Game Addiction Lawsuit may be entitled to compensation for:
- Therapy and counseling expenses for addiction treatment
- Medical and psychological care for related conditions
- Lost educational or developmental opportunities
- Emotional distress and suffering for both the child and family
- Punitive damages against negligent gaming companies

Roblox and the Video Gaming Addiction Connection
Roblox has faced increasing scrutiny not only for online exploitation risks but also for addictive gameplay mechanics that keep children engaged for hours.
Parents report that children as young as seven spend excessive time creating, exploring, and spending money within Roblox’s virtual economy. Combined with exposure to unsafe interactions and harmful content, Roblox is one of several platforms now linked to ongoing mass tort investigations.
If your child’s Roblox use has led to mental health issues, financial loss, or addiction symptoms, you may have grounds to join both the Roblox Abuse Lawsuit and the Video Game Addiction Tort.
