CTOnews.com, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) A mother in Arkansas filed a lawsuit in court on October 30, accusing Microsoft, Epic Games, Activision Blizzard, EA and other game companies of using patented design, algorithms and marketing to deliberately create addictive games because her son was addicted to video games.

According to the Tuyuan Pexels complaint, these game companies use data collection for minors, predatory monetization programs and feedback loops to make players more addicted to the game.

"We never thought that when our son started playing video games, he would become so addicted that his education was seriously affected, he lost interest in getting along with friends, and his physical and mental health was at risk," said Kathy Dunn, the mother who filed the lawsuit. "these game companies target and take advantage of children and put profits above everything else. As a mother, I know what I have to do to make sure that they do not escape responsibility and undermine the happiness and future of our children. "

CTOnews.com notes that the Dunns are seeking compensation from the companies to change the way games are designed and delivered, and to provide additional "mental health resources" for families of young children who face treatment for play addiction.

Tina Bullock, the plaintiff's lawyer, believes that game addiction is a serious problem that should be taken seriously. "parents like me often mistakenly believe that when their children become addicted, it is their own failure." but through this lawsuit, we hope to expose the sad behavior, deception and manipulation of our children for our own financial gain.
