Me too I should sue Rockstar for making all their GTA games so addictive. I should even join FIFA and Konami for making PES and Football Manager so addictive.

Video games can be addictive that's why I purposely refused to own one till after I finished school.


Now I play video games with maturity, I don't let game time conflict with work hours.

A Siberian gamer is suing the makers of Fallout-4 after he lost his job and broke up with his wife because of the video game. He wants 500,000 roubles (US$7,000) in compensation from the company, saying he did not know the game would “become so addictive.”
The 28-year-old man from Krasnoyarsk found out about the game in an advert and subsequently downloaded it onto his computer. That was when his problems began in earnest. He only intended to play it for a couple of evenings, but instead became addicted and the next three weeks flew by.

Such was his ‘dedication’ to the game, which sees the player emerge from a bunker following a devastating nuclear holocaust in a post-apocalyptic world, that his own apocalypse unfolded right before his eyes.
He regularly skipped work, which resulted in his employers firing him. He stopped meeting up and speaking with friends, and his wife left him. His health also started to deteriorate as he was not sleeping or eating.
“If I knew that this game could have become so addictive, I would have become a lot more wary of it. I would not have bought it, or I would have left it until I was on holiday or until the New Year holidays,” a statement from the man read.
The Krasnoyarsk native now wants to sue the makers of the game Bethesda Game Studios and the Russian localization firm for 500,000 roubles ($7,000) for emotional distress.
His lawsuit is seen as something of a test case in Russia, as there has never been such a precedent. The law firm representing the 28-year-old say they want to “see how far we can go regarding this case.”
There have been similar cases around the world though. In 2010, a US federal judge said he would listen to a case brought by a Hawaiian man, who said he became addicted to video game Lineage II.
Craig Smallwood was demanding damages from the game’s makers, saying he would not have begun playing if he had been aware “that he would become addicted to the game.”
Surprisingly, the judge sided with the plaintiff and ordered NCsoft of South Korea to pay Smallwood’s legal fees which he had accumulated over the six-month period after filing his lawsuit.

Of all games to lose your job on, it had to be Fallout?

If it was GTA V I'd understand, I too almost lost my job for that (heists! Oh god!).

Unless of course it's all a publicity stunt by Bethesda to promote that long-winding, slow-burning rubbish of a wasteland trawling game.

This guy has got jokes, I might as well sue Papa Johns for making awesome pizza and giving me discounts. The slap way I wan slap the guy...giving gamers a bad name.


kikiki Lol, you dey mind the mumu ? Na who send am grin

but honestly, some game could get you so addicted that you'll completely live in it, hunger and time would mean nothing to you at that moment especially if you can't find yourself to pass a stage or finish the game.

I have a DVD of God of War, the guy practically played the game for 6year to complete all stage.

I'm not even going to lie, when I was playing Player Career on FIFA 14, I know I played division 2 season in less than one week, I played every single match for Plymouth, my guy was out for 4 weeks injury, he was still rated number 1. Na sleep, game, use toilet during loading, eat for my bed, continue, rinse and repeat. I think I only ate coco pops that week, no mess with powdered milk. The only good thing is I kept myself hydrated with water. In my defence work was quiet around that time, so no wahala, until I had work. See the way I abandon game, then went to work for whatever game I was testing that day. Dragged myself back home, played a match or 3. So, that guy they talk nonsense. I've gone to work way too many times with no sleep. Ok, that one is not always games fault.

Thats the reason why i said 'Who send am' don't mind him, its because their judicial system is perfect, reason why they take advantage, am sure he could Win the case,, let him come try such in Nigeria, its his parent that would beat back sense into his life, Lol.

You appear to enjoy repeating other people, I didn't know you were a parrot. We appear to have a parrot on NL, apparently NL really is the place to be. Anywho, break's almost over.
