Summary

  • Game developers face backlash for addiction lawsuits.
  • Community divided on responsibility between developers and players.
  • Parental concerns spark discussions on gaming habits.

Community Reactions

“Jesus Christ what a trash lawsuit… reading the headline I thought this would be something different and was ready to agree with the suit. But this is a bunch of hogwash. You can’t sue a hobby for being a hobby.”

“I still remember the summer that me and brother were being lazy bums so my mom took the Nintendo controllers with her to work every day. Parents need to parent.”

Reflections on Parental Responsibilities

“Parents trying to blame the school, system, entity for being garbage parents. A tale as old as time.”

“Well this is the dumbest thing I’ve read in awhile. I like the Mom that says she couldn’t regulate her son’s play because she was afraid of him. So now games are complicit because you’re a coward? FOH.”
