According to the suit, parents are arguing that their children experienced symptoms of addiction to Fortnite, like not eating, sleeping or showering.
The parents suing the makers of the popular game Fortnite have cleared a legal hurdle. A judge is allowing a class action suit to move forward.That newly authorized class action lawsuit, filed on behalf of parents in Canada, alleges Epic Games designed Fortnite to create a dependency in users and failed to provide warnings of the risks associated with playing.
Boston mom, Deanna Greenstein, said she noticed her 12 and 13 year old sons became obsessed almost instantly. Epic Games is pushing back, vowing to fight the allegations in court saying the claims are meritless. In a statement to ABC News, the game maker said, "We have industry-leading parental controls that empower parents to supervise their child's digital experience."
