A Quebec judge has authorized a class-action lawsuit against the maker of the popular online video game, Fortnite, after parents of three children who played it argued it was too"addictive."against Epic Games Inc. and its Canadian subsidiary, the lawyers representing the plaintiffs said they believed this case was a world first.Three parents from Quebec sued Epic Games, which is based in the U.S.
To fuel their addiction, the kids mentioned in the class-action suit spent hundreds of dollars — sometimes without their parents' knowledge — on characters and dances in the game, according to the judgment on the request for authorization to bring the class-action suit against Epic Games. The Quebec judge concluded that there is"no certainty" to the parents' allegations of a deliberately addictive game, but wrote that it"does not preclude the possibility that the game is in fact addictive and that its creator and distributor are presumed to know this," the judge wrote in the 24-page ruling.
"The Court is of the opinion that the facts alleged with respect to the plaintiffs' children make it possible to claim, if we put them in relation to the statements of certain experts with respect to the creation of an addiction to video games, and more particularly to Fortnite, that the plaintiffs have a valid product liability claim against the defendants," the judge wrote in his ruling issued on Wednesday.

Quebec minister introduces bill making oath to King optional for legislatorsPurpose of the legislation is to abolish the requirement for elected officials to swear an oath to the King before they can take their seats in the legislature AbolishTheMonarchy I'm glad I pay taxes so about 100 adults can sit in a room and argue about dumb shit like this and rake in well over 6 figures. I truly worry I wouldn't know what else to do with my money if it wasn't for them They do not have the legal power to do this. It's a travesty that the federal government hasn't already said so, firmly and unapologetically. They're trying to establish a non-existent right to amend the Constitution unilaterally; and Trudeau is letting them try it.
