It's not a gaming addition that's the problem, it's that many of these games basically follow the same playbook that casinos do. They're gambling disguised as a video game.

It would help if the lawsuit was actually focused on lootboxes, microtransactions, and the like as harmful gambling.

But it doesn't. The lawsuit claims video games themselves being good creates an addiction.

Well that's fucking stupid
